I actually had partial luck with this. You can actually convert modern PDF to layer 2 or layer 1 postscript with pdftops from poppler-utils or xpdf-utils.

pdftops -layer2 file1.pdf file1.ps

Than you can try converting generated postscript to PDF 1.1 with GhostScript 4.03 and its ps2pdf script. This will actually be able to be read in Acrobat Reader for MS-DOS.

That said, a lot of modern PDF files will fail to convert back to PDF 1.x. But some older documents might work.
