This wasn't really what I'm looking for, since the pdf's in question have
images. I really would want to see them in console mode (more even since
my X cannot be used for the moment due to some upgrade problems I haven't
sorted out).
Fbi is capable of doing this, I'm sure (it's a framebuffer image viewer,
it converts the pdf to an image format normally). The converting however
has issues on my Woody box.

It's not really necessary for me to see the pdf, as I can always do it on
my Windows box, but I would call it a shame if I don't get this to work in
Linux.
Thanks for the hints!
