Put simply, step 1 tells InDesign that you want a flattener preset to convert everything to raster images.

in the Advanced section under Transparency Flattener, select the new profile you created.

In the PDF Export dialog box, choose Acrobat 4 for Compatibility (top right) and change your compression settings to 96ppi for colour and grayscale images.You can either paste this on every page or throw it into your masters, but it does need to be on top of all your artwork.This is the part that makes it all happen, create a new rectangle object that covers your entire page, no stroke, fill white.Change both resolution settings to 96ppi.Create a new preset and move the Vector/Raster Balance slider all the way to Raster.In InDesign, go to Edit > Transparency Flattener Presets.Be aware that it does bloat your files though (all image no vector). There are a couple of steps but what you're wanting can be achieved in InDesign. If the file is opened in Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, or Adobe InDesign, the user must enter the Permissions password, since it is not possible to open the file in a view-only mode.

If the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat, the user can view the file but must enter the specified Permissions password in order to change the file’s Security and Permissions settings.

(Then undo to reverse the rasterization.) Within Illustrator, you could select all and choose Object > Rasterize then save as a PDF. Unless, of course, your document is entirely raster based. There's no way, which I'm aware of, from within Illustrator or InDesign to generate a raster image only based PDF upon output.

within Acrobat Pro to generate a PDF from multiple images/files. Or use File > Create > Combine Files into Single PDF. You can drag a group of jpgs to Acrobat to generate a PDF. Simply, save or export the pages as jpg or tiff, then build a PDF from those images. But in general editing raster-based PDFs can be much more of a chore than editing customary raster+vector based PDFs which InDesign and Illustrator both generate. Of course, even raster-based PDFs can be opened in an image editor such as Photoshop and manipulated as images. As far as I'm aware, other than password protecting the PDF (which can easily be circumvented), only raster-based PDFs would prevent easy editing of otherwise easily edited content such as text or vector objects.
