I have a 2006.tax file from last year but I don't have Turbotax 2006.
Is there away to turn that tax file into a PDF file or a hard copy without the program?

I doubt it. Did you file for 2006? You can request your tax info from the IRS:

I doubt it; it is a birary DATA file that Turbo Tax needs to be able to read to create anything meaningful out of it.
So saying that, I understand you can probably buy a used copy of TT off of eBay (perfectly legal I think if you receive the original media?) and get at the data that way.
When you get it, be sure to 'print' a complete version for your records in the .pdf format and save it next to your .tax file to avoid this problem in the future as well as printing a hardcopy as well .
From TurboTax web site:
If you need to prepare taxes for a previous tax year, you can purchase TurboTax software for tax years 2003-2006. Both federal and state products are available for Windows and Mac. Previous versions of TurboTax Business (Windows only) are available, too.
Note: If you purchased a TurboTax download, you can redownload it for free for three years from the product release date. For steps, see Download TurboTax.

No.
Only Turbotax 2006 can read a Turbotax 2006 file.
You could try
I have never used this service, so I can't make a recommendation. I'm just making you aware of it.

if you purchased Turbotax it's easy to reinstall or heck, send it to me and I'll turn a 2006 tax file into pdf, I still have it on my computer
But it's not safe to send your turbo tax file to anyone on the internet as they would have your social security number.
Form 4506 can be used to get the IRS to mail you a copy of your tax return, but it costs $39 plus the 41 or 42 cent stamp. I'm sure you can buy the software package for less.
You should be able to open that with turbotax 2007 to import data into the 2007 return, but I doubt whether tt2007 would be able to produce the pdf of the
2006 return.~Annie
