I had a similar problem, and X PDF seems to work for me.  I don't recall if 
it's under "applications" or under "graphics" on the "K" menu of KDE.

You're welcome -- I should note also that Acrobat is NOT open source =)
and this means that someone will have to deconstruct the later
PDF formats in order to make PS Viewer able to read them...

so it really *isn't* Linux' fault...

Thanks for all your input.  All of us Newbies
appreciate it.  People have to understand that Linux
is still very new and in its infancy but look how far
its come and watch it grow!

Not true. It works fine -- the reason you can't read those PDFs is that they
are made with a more recent version of Acrobat Distiller and are not 100%
true PostScript.

For PostScript files PS Viewer works just fine.

If you need to read PDFs, go and get Acrobat Reader from Adobe.
