Viewing PDF's

[Tyler Style]

If you want to go to the trouble of setting it up on an end user's 
machine, Xming (http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) is an 
excellent X11 handler for Windows and has both free and paid versions.  
I would think you'd need to make sure you have a lookup somewhere that 
links users to screens or you'd wind up popping PDFs on random machines, 
or put up a list of screens/machines to display the PDF that the user 
can choose from...
