Adobe itself seems to have a reader:

You may also want to google for 'ghostscript'

Personnaly I don't bother.
Right tool for the right problem and such.
HPUX is great for servers.
For documenation reading and pretty picture I just use a (cheap) workstation: Windoze or Linux based. Just FTP/Samba/NFS the file over and display there with standard tools.

fwiw,
Hein.

hi,

Reading the pdf files on the server itself will require an XDISPLAY and the appropriate software as mentioned by Hein above.

Otherwise, consider copying (scp,ftp) the files to a windows environment and use the free acrobat reader.

hope this helps!

kind regards

Try searching for "pdf" here:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/

I have had decent results with the program "xpdf".
