IIRC, the PM7 setup CD-ROM will do it all for you.

However it's years since I did it.

You need to install a Postscript Printer (any will do - a LaserWriter is fine) from the Windows Control Panel, and make sure the Distiller PPD is in the folder

[pmdir]\RSRC\[language]\PPD4

which is usually:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PageMaker 7.0\RSRC\USENGLSH\PPD4 (USA) or
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PageMaker 7.0\RSRC\UKENGLSH\PPD4 (UK/CDN/AUS/NZ)

The Distiller5 PPD is here: <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=204>
