Viewing PDF's

[Bob Rasmussen]

It sounds like you are trying to use a host-based (Linux-based) program 
that does graphical display. That won't work, unless you have an X-Windows 
program on the client.

If they were to use AnzioWin instead of Putty, they would have these 
options:

1) Pass the file to the client and view it in Adobe Reader (or whatever 
was assigned to .PDF).

2) Pass the file to the client and view it in AnzioWin's built-in viewer.

3) Have AnzioWin's built-in viewer pull the file into memory from an FTP 
or HTTP server, and view it, without it ever residing on the client PC's 
disk. This may be better from a security standpoint.

4) Print it interactively in any of these scenarios.

5) Print it under program control from any of these, except 1) is 
problematic.
