I'm a little confused. I thought the purpose of all of this was to create a PDF that could be viewed on an old Mac.
--It may be that initially it was. But it ended up demonstrating that a Macintosh Classic is able to be in the *very first* (typing, choosing fonts, composing and layout) as well as the *very last* chain (just displaying) of creating and displaying a .pdf file, by simply means of an emulator in the *in between* steps.
Creating a PDF file on a Classic has ALWAYS been an extremely easy thing to do, since Macs have been capable of Post Script since System 2.0 which runs all the way back on the 128K (System 1.1 if one uses the original 1/85 LaserWriter Installer software to update the system). There is nothing new or interesting about it, other than noting how advanced the Mac was for its time in utilizing what is still a modern supported standard (no emulator required). ;-)
Your original intention was much more interesting and complicated proposal which is why you met with so much resistance here. I think it is safe to say the forum eagerly awaits the tutorial for easily getting a modern PDF converted to a 1.0 file which can then be read within the Acrobat software supported by a 68000 Mac.
If I read your posts correctly the steps are:
1) import a modern PDF file into SheepShaver hard drive.*
2) open it using Adobe Acrobat with Acroexchange v2.0 (or earlier?)
3) convert it to a v1.0 pdf.
4) export the new pdf from SheepShaver hard drive
5) copy the pdf to your Classic and open in Acrobat 1.0.
*It seems to me there may also be an additional step to downgrade the pdf version to something Acrobat Acroexchange 2.0 will be able to open before it is loaded into SheepShaver. Can Acrobat v.2.0 really read a v8.0 created pdf file, much less convert it accurately? Also, will all versions of Acroexchange open 3.0 reader files which seem to be the earliest format Acrobat converts to? Will modern versions of Acrobat convert to 2.0 files? So many unanswered questions.
