How to transcribe a song into a music sheet with using Adobe (.pdf)?
(I don't know whether this question will break the rules...)

You have to use a notation software such as Finale or Sibelius for export the score to a pdf document. For export it as pdf you will need a converter(which is free).

Hmm...if you are asking how to turn a sheet music file into a pdf file, it's actually quite easy. Download Primopdf (it's free). Go to print the sheet music, but select Primopdf as your printer on the top of the printer screen. After a while, primopdf will open, and you can click 'create pdf'. :P

sry, but this is not what i mean. My question is like saying how do you write a music sheet by listening to the song or music (maybe there's some machine can do it...)? (sry for any broken english)

Oh. You need to get music notation software like finale. (you can probably find notepad '08 on download.com if you want a free solution) After you make the music sheet, follow the instructions in my last post to make it a pdf. :P I'm pretty sure notepad '08 can open a midi and make music out of it, although you will have to edit it a bit so it's playable.
