Anyone know good options for Creating PDFs

General
So i've been thinking on doing Comics, mostly a few short (~5 pages) ones for the moment, but hopefully tackling much larger ones in the future. However i was also thinking about the logistics of posting comics: specifically while posting individual pages would be fine (probably as a page a day once i've finished the full thing) once everything is posted i would want to do/post a collected single version and pdfs seem like the best way to do that.
However doing a bit of research into making PDFs has left me a bit dry on results. While i have found some freely available options (since while i'm sure Adobe has the best tool for making PDFs given their subscription model for stuff something i'll probably only use 2-3 times a year is going to be cost prohibitive) they all seem to be for copying text documents into a pre and maybe adding a pretty background. they do allow for adding and positioning images but not custom page sizes (the format/workflow i use doesn't use standard a4 or 8.5x11 page proportions) and double page spreads don't seem very viable (sure i can slice the image in half but then the first problem i mentioned comes back with a vengeance).
So rather than spend even more time digging through websites that make me wonder if i should run a virus scan afterwards even without downloading anything figured might be smart to ask if anyone has any insight or ideas
