Go to eHelp's (makers of RoboHelp) site and take a look at RoboPDF. It installs as a 
printer driver and only allows printing to PDF. You cannot view or edit PDFs with it. 
It does allows for modifications to the distiller settings to allow for security 
issues and I believe it will allow you to set job options similar to Acrobat. It was 
$49 for a single copy with discounts for purchasing more than one copy at a time. You 
can download the home version as a trial.

I've recommended it to one of our sales support engineers who just wants to be able to 
make PDFs of PowerPoint presentations  to leave with customers and prospects.

One note about using RoboPDF, use it as just another printer driver. That is, have 
your document open in the program it was created in and then select the print function 
and chose the RoboPDF printer. My sales engineer was having trouble with his 
powerpoint coming out in b/w. When I checked his process, he was opening RoboPDF and 
selecting the file. When I had him open Powerpoint, select the file, select file/print 
and then choose the RoboPDF printer, bingo, a color PDF.

BTW, I have no stake in eHelp as a user, investor or employee. It's a neat little way 
to make PDFs easily and it's inexpensive. Beats buying Adobe's print-only-to-PDF 
program that's really cheap, but only can be purchased in a minimum of 1000 seats.
