I had bought desktop CD version from 1997 to 2004. I have .tax file from 1997 to 2004. How do I get a pdf version of these files.

if they are not installed and you still have the Cds, I would advise not trying to reinstall them. updates are no longer available, so if you open the .taxXXXX file, the numbers would likely change from what was filed

You have to use each tax year TurboTax program to bring up that year’s return to print it.

If you no longer have the software on the computer for those tax years, you cannot create pdf's now.   If you want to print out the returns, you might want to try a service called Taxprinter.    (taxprinter.com)  They are not affiliated with TurboTax nor do we know what they charge for their services.   The IRS only saves tax returns for seven years, so not sure why you want such old tax returns, but that is up to you.

OS and systems have evolved. I doubt anyone has the same system from 1997. So your answer though meaningful is not relevant. Sorry
