You can download some Open Source software called PfaEdit at 
<http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/>, which does a great deal more than 
convert between TTF and Adobe Type 1, but which certainly has the 
technology to do that task as well.

I thought that PDF allowed embedding any fonts that the printer driver 
can send to it, which usually includes Adobe or TTF fonts. I'm also not 
sure why you'd need Verdana to be present in Type 1 format (or any 
format) for HTML output -- either the person viewing it has Verdana 
installed or another font is used, which is the way HTML is supposed to 
work. However, I also know nothing about your project, so I've provided 
the best answer (PfaEdit) I know of...

Hope this helps,
Mike
