There are lots of solutions (at various cost levels, from Open Source to
expensive) for this that already exist using GhostScript. CutePDF
Writer, PDF995, and PDFCreator are 3 that I can think of off the top of
my head and I'm sure that more exist.
Of course, Acrobat can do this as well.

Often, there is little that needs to be configured with the driver.
Different solutions have different levels of configurability, but these
are all PDF options such as protection, PDF revision level, resolution, etc.

All of these solutions do exactly this: By installing a virtual printer
into Windows, any app that can print to a Windows printer can generate PDFs.
