It depends on what OS X app created the PDF files.  Some apps (I'm
guessing things like Adobe Acrobat) will set the type & creator codes
("PDF" and "CARO" respectively) that OS 9 looks for.  If that's the
case, then you need do nothing.

If those PDF files do not have the .pdf filename extension, OS 9 will
have no idea that those files are PDF files.  If they do have the .pdf
filename extension but do not have the type & creator codes set, use the
old OS 9 Internet control panel (aka Internet Config) to map ".pdf" to
Adobe Acrobat.
