If you take a look at the table under the aforementioned link, you will notice that there is a difference when attempting to connect from a Mac OS 8.6 computer to a Mac OS X 10.4 and a Mac OS X 10.9 computer. So, an unaltered 10.9 does not appear to work with normal file sharing. You should still be able to install NetPresenz on the old computer, and then use an FTP client from the modern machine to upload (push) the files.
Another solution, if you have a number of PDF files to transfer on only a few occasions, could possibly be to produce a CD-R in an appropriate format (on a modern Mac or PC with a CD burner), and then read that disc at the Power Macintosh 6500. Alternatively, if both computers can access the Internet, you could carry out the transfers as email attachments or via a "cloud drive".
