OK. I found the xpdf program and it works from the command line, however,
when I add it to my helper applications, it doesn't launch after I down load
it.
Any ideas on how to fix that?

Actually, I had forgotten.. My RH7.1 box is set up to use 'xpdf'. It's
almost as convenient as reading a pdf in Mozilla.
Under mime types 'application/pdf' is set to use 'xpdf %f'. It
compleatly downloads the pdf before opening, but opens it automatically.
It is possible I missed something in the setup as I didn't actually set
it up. I think it got set that way automatically during the install of
Ximian gnome.
