Alan, Launch Distiller, then look at SETTINGS > SECURITY. Are any of the boxes checked? They shouldn't be if you don't want security. I believe the export PDF function in Pagemaker runs Distiller in the background, so the only way a PDF can have security, is if Distiller tells it to through the security settings. Let me know if this takes care of your problem.
