I checked the Life Sciences yedion this morning, when I saw the
OP. There are little PDF icons next to Word icons, but some of them
are disabled (no PDF version, I presume?), and others complain about
fonts and refuse to render. I didn't spend too much time on it.

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
$ rpm -q mozilla acroread
mozilla-0.9.9-12.7.3
acroread-505-1

Asking for HTML or PDF (where P stands for Portable) versions seems
reasonable.
