Buy a copy of Acrobat. While you could find something a little cheaper, you might as well just go with the Adobe product because you know it'll work. You may want to look at the difference between Standard and Pro to see if there is something specific you need in the Pro version.

If you're looking for free, I have to assume that you don't work for a very successful company? I mean no offense, but $300 for the VP of Sales should be a reasonable expense. Plus, as VP for Sales, you must appreciate the value in people paying for stuff. Would you want your customers to ask how they could get YOUR product for free?

In any case, even if you have no qualms over trying to get free stuff, I caution against going non-Adobe simply because every product I've tried that does PDF stuff has some flaw, at some point, that makes it not compatible with someone. The Adobe products are going to be easier on you when a sales rep calls and says that the free software you used created a form that won't save on his machine.
