Read PDF files in Gnome

There are 2 easy ways to read PDF files in Gnone (the default desktop for Red Hat Enterprise Linux): Use Firefox or Evince.

Evince is the Gnome document viewer, and can be easily opened as follows:

# evince /usr/share/doc/libtasn1-4.10/libtasn1.pdf
You can also use Firefox. Firefox has built-in PDF support. You can open it as follows:
# firefox /usr/share/doc/libtasn1-4.10/libtasn1.pdf
