Your question is quite interesting. You mean the files created in pdf format. Right? Aer you not able to read them at all? I guess you just need to install Reader. That's it.

Xpdf an open source application is included with Red Hat Linux. It’s very user friendly tool.

To view a PDF with xpdf:
* Go to Main Menu = Applications = xpdf
* Right click in the xpdf screen to display a list of options.
* Select Open to display a list of files.
* Select the PDF file you want to view and click on Open.

Another open source application called Ghostview comes with Red Hat Linux and allows you to view and navigate through PostScriptTM and PDF files To view a PDF with Ghostview:

* Select Main Menu = Graphics = Ghostview.
* Select File = Open to display a list of available files.
