There's good news and bad news for you: Acrobat 1.0 will run on 68000 machines (well, the PB100 for certain, but probably other 68000-based macs also). The bad news is that pdf files have evolved so far beyond 1.0 that you won't be able to read most pdf documents out there. If you want to give it a try anyway, check out http://www.ou.nl/open/psl/pb100/#Software (scroll down the links to the 4-disk download), or http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/tidbits.html to download the 1.0 reader. I don't know if you could get 2.1 to install by using Sim020 first. I have never tried it, but who knows? Maybe it's worth a try...there are vastly many more 2.1-compatible documents out there.
