For a free tool that does this, download jedit. It takes a little while to
go through all of the options and get it working the way you want (e.g.,
anti-aliased fonts), but it's great. You can find the plugin to export as
colored code in the plugin manager. I forget the exact name. Code
colorizer?

Another good one is SciTE. You can export your colorized code as HTML or
PDF. SciTE also needs a little configuration. You change the settings in
a configuration file called Global Options.

Both tools are free and run on both Windows and Linux. jEdit also runs on
Mac.
