If you want to view the PDF file on the emulation screen it will be impossible since the emulation is capable of displaying text only (you may use a tool to convert PDF to text, but it is NOT what you want).
Another option:
* Map network dirve to NetServer IFS from the PC (i.e G)
* When a user presses the required key in the emulation, use STRPCCMD to run Acrobat Reader on the PC -- with the required file name as parameter.
