I have Microsoft Publisher now. ...snip..You are able to save to pdfs in there now. What are they like, can a picture created in Gimp be saved as a pdf in there and would it be better?
I think the newest MS Publisher I have is in a MS Office 2005 archive

Guessing your version is the latest edition. Nice acquisition.
It should be able to use a variety of image formats according to this:

Give MS their due, there is usually a help page somewhere.

My niggle with Gimp and PDF is when a font is only available to Gimp, ie. in the Gimp user profile fonts folder. Make a PDF using the font and it is not embedded, the font has to be installed system-wide ( linux is a bit better, put the font in ~/.fonts)
Inkscape works the way Gimp should work. Font goes in Inkscape user profile, font gets embedded in PDF.
PDF is a finished format, meant for distribution not editing and Gimp makes big file sizes due to the internal compression format. Best stick with your MS Publisher.
