Welll, this works (sort-of, anyway).  I found the documentation
to be rather sparse, but their top-level application did run
and display PDF.  Unfortunately, a lot of PDF documents that
I have on my machine do not display well in that application.
It seems to have some problems with the font display.

Actually, it seems to have trouble with a lot of other PDF
documents I have as well.  Not all of the troublesome documents
are ones that I've generated.  In particular, the tables to
The Gamers CWBS and OCS series games don't display properly.
Rotated text and graphics don't display.  Shaded rows on tables
don't display.  Color may also be a general problem.

Type 3 fonts are also not implemented.

This is not ready for prime-time, and I couldn't find
any other alternative with a useful license.  I'd like
to know if there is anything.
