I've used xpdf or some such animal to view PDFs under Linux with no
problem.  SGI is providing auto generated quotes for their sales reps
using the PDF format.  I really like that since too many MSWord docs
come my way when I am on an SGI or Linux machine.  Ghostscripts
postscript to pdf converter worked fine for me.  Have you tried that?
