I'm not sure about the PDF, but as far as text browsers, you might want to look at links.

you can open a browser in text mode with the following command
# elinks or # elinks Yahoo!

with all my knowledge, you cant open pdf in text mode!

you can open a browser in text mode with the following command # elinks

You would have to have elinks installed, of course.

Lynx, links, or elinks are probably the most popular text based browsers.

The only way I've found to open a pdf in the console is a program called fbgs. You have to have the framebuffer enabled for it to work, however. (You are also able to view images, watch movies via mplayer compiled with X11 support, and browse the web graphically with links2 using the framebuffer.)

fbgs(1) - Linux man page

See my thread on living without the X windows system for more ideas for console based programs. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/cof...ine-tools.html
