John,
You can do this by installing the PDF Writer plugin and the iText library.
(see http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/pdf-writer.html )

Split your stack using Image/Stacks/Stack to Images, run the PDF Writer
plugin checking 'save all images' and 'one image per page' options.

Note : Do not install the latest version of iText. The PDF Writer plugin
works nicely with iText version 1.3.6.
Visit
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15255&package_id=12596
and download itext-1.3.6.jar to the plugins folder.

Jerome
