OK, there is a way how to do it temporarily if someone is forced. Look
at http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb27-1/ and read Font
installation the shallow way by Siep Kroonenberg. The trick is that
you make your own map file for Helvetica (or whatever) that will not
contain the file names, just the PS names. You then use \pdfmapfile
command in pdftex to read this file which will replace the map
installed in TL just temporarily for this document. You thus can
create PDF with true Helvetica without embeding it but do not spoil
TL.
