OS 9 doesn't use permissions the way UNIX in OS 10 does. There is really only one user.

In OS 9 you should be able to use Chooser to select  Acrobat PDFWriter for your selected printer.  After that you just print from whatever application you're using.

It wasn't until OS 10 that Apple made PDF format into something like a standard for its operating system.

If you're using OS 9 in OS neXt's classic mode there might not even be a Chooser. I donno about that. But I do use Chooser and create PDF's under OS 9.1 on this 8500.
