And...???

You are saying that your Unix box can already view PDF files.  But you are 
also saying that it can only view them if they're stored remotely on a 
Windows box, which sounds like a very strange restriction to not be able to 
access locally-stored files.

So, I ask again, what command to you use to view a PDF file on the Unix box, 
when the PDF is stored on a Windows box?
