Is there a package that contains a TeX to PDF converter/renderer available on Ubuntu 12.04?

If not, can you recommend a tool for me to download from elsewhere that can do this that is simple to install?

As far as I know, you won't find a single standalone binary that will do this for you. The typical utility is called pdflatex and is part of the TeX Live package. It's in the repositories, so simply opening the terminal and typing the below will install pdflatex and lots of other essential TeX stuff:

sudo apt-get install texlive
