I think the point is that Acrobat Reader is only available for a few platforms,
and if your computer isn't one of those you're stuck. (More or less.)

Mark and all others,
If you need a PDF file written I will do it, print it , and attach it as a scanned
file, BMP or something like that, If I have to I will type it in letter by letter
for you. Does this help?

xpdf and GhostScript read PDF files just fine, and they are both open
software. They'll run on anything that's Unix or close to it.
