You will have trouble getting other proprietary apps to run so do not use this as a
"well, 32-bit apps will work" excuse.

The primary apps she will need on a linux installation are a high quality (and full
functionality)
of a pdf reader/creator. That will/might have to be a non-free (money-wise) item.
Other than that, either libreofficeor openoffice plus Firefox will be all she needs.
VLC and SMPLAYER will also be required, along with a decent photo gallery viewer
where she can vie the photos in auto-sequencing style or manually click on
"next".
That's really about it.
I hope you downloaded and burned the 32-bit edition of PCLOS. It has Adobe Reader
in the repo.
The 64-bit version only has Linux pdf programs.
