There are different programs capable of opening a PDF file in Linux. See free alternative PDF (Portable Document Format) readers page for a full listing of each of the programs capable of running in many of the variants of Linux.

If none of these programs work or you cannot install a PDF reader, use a web-based reader, which are also listed on the same page.
