Well, the Rules of Construction tell us to take the most obvious 
interpretation, assuming that "the PDF file would reside" is new information,
rather than a repeat of earlier information.  Thus "view a PDF file on"
must be assumed to mean "perform the viewing act on", IE: he wants a PDF
viewer that runs *on the Unix box*.
