I accept Dov's point re composite colour for photocopiers etc, and
indeed on some imagesetters it is possible to set up drivers which will
separate spot or cmyk colours when RIPping a composite file.
However, to separate for litho printing there are a few options.
1. Import the PDF file into Quark (need plugin) and run separations to
an imagesetter from there.
2. Export as eps from Acrobat (as level 1 ps), import into Quark as run
seps as above. (more steps but no need for plugin)
3. Use a PDF plugin utility such as PDF Output Pro, or Crackerjack.

Tim,

The idea of PDF files is "view and print everywhere" which implies that
the absolutely LAST thing you want is a "pre-separated PDF" file.

Typically, you provide a printer with a "composite color" PDF file and
the printer makes separations from that.
