Go into the "start" menu under the redhat icon in the toolbar.  Then 
select preferences and file types.  Within there is a published 
materials selection that will open up and display pdf viewer.  Open this 
and double click on pdf which will open and give you en eidt box to 
specify what viewer to use for pdf files.

       Redhat--> preferences -->  file types and programs --> published 
materials -->  pdf viewer --> browse for pdf viewer to use.
