PM 6.5 will export directly from the file menu (file> export> Adobe PDF) if
Acrobat Distiller is installed. Acrobat Distiller is installed as part of the
PM
6.5 default (Easy Install option). If it is not installed you can install it
from the PM 6.5 installation disk either directly from the Adobe Distiller 3.0
folder or by using custom install and just installing Adobe Distiller.
Short of Distiller there is or used to be a free extensions, one called
Acrobat™
PDFwriter 4.05 and another one called AdobePS 8.8.0 which may be still be
available from Adobe download site. When one or both are installed they will
show up in Chooser as printers. They reside in the OS 9 Extensions folder. I
never had to use them to create a PDF from PM 6.5
For a test I just created a PDF from PM 6.5 while in 10.3.9. Classic mode on a
G4 Sawtooth. I did not have to use Chooser.
