Yes, many - but if you're running windows, there is always cutepdf which
acts as a printer driver and you can use it to export pdf from anything.

Or if you use a mac, you can export to pdf from anything from the base o/s.
 If linux / free unix, the de-facto presentation system is OOo, which
supports pdf export natively.

This doesn't address strict pdf/a 1.4 compatibility, but this is a more
subtle problem which the ietf cannot realistically expect its presentation
submitters to handle in a consistent manner.

Apparently, it is considered unhelpful to suggest that people keep within
5y of what's widely supported at any particular time.
