You can basically do the same thing with OS 8/9. Print to File, and in the "Save as File" panel select "Acrobat PDF". Under OS 8/9 all the grunt work is still done by Distiller (the LW driver generates postscript, then uses a few strategic AppleEvents to pass the ball on to Distiller). This still lets you tweak certain aspects of Distiller, since you can set D's preferences beforehand. Since I'm not running OS X, I can't say to what extent the process is really different.
