I'm unclear what you're trying to do? What do you mean by "command to read a pdf file"? As in, if you type into the command line xpdf /path/to/file.pdf, it fails to open xpdf with the file?

Hello


Exactly. whenever i try to read a .PDF file with commands like kpdf or xpdf like

kpdf /path/to/file.pdf or xpdf /path/to/file.pdf .

It says" bash: kpdf : command not found

or bash: xpdf: command not found.

I wonder that what could be my problem and how i should sort it out.

Do you have those programs installed? Are you using the GNOME or KDE version of Fedora? In GNOME the default pdf reader is called evince, and in KDE the default is usually okular.

If you think you do have the programs installed, what is the output of

You should be able to download and install an rpm file from Adobe for the AdobeReader (acroread). I have version 9.1.2 installed on my CentOS system. Works just fine. Yes, I know that it is not FOSS, but it is a native linux build, and it's free.
