PDF is also known as the Adobe Acrobat format. There's quite a few linux
programs that can read it (xpdf is the first to come to mind), but they can't
read all pdf files for some reason. Just like xanim can't show all avi's,
depending on which codec they use. Anyway, if you have a windoze box as well (or
a dual-boot option) you can easily view these files with the adobe acrobat
reader. I believe it can be found on tucows, and if not, try the adobe website.
