to open the document(pdf) present in remote server from the local machine....
 

Hot to open a document (lets suppose PDF document), present in the remote server (in the same network) from the working server in the Linux?

Example: If any document present in the remote server "Server1" and I am working on the other server "Server2", then how can I open a document(PDF document) present in the "Server1".

Please leave your valuable suggestion about this.

The easiest way that will work without additional setup (given that ssh is up and running, of course) is using scp.
You can copy files with scp like this:
scp remote-user@remote-host:/home/remote...emote-file.pdf /home/local-user/

sshfs (on fuse) would allow you to make the remote directory appear local to local applications.

Yes that's even easier, but I guess you need root access to mount it if there's no entry in fstab.

Fuse can be setup to allow simple users to perform ssh mounts, but it is not trivial.

Actually, you can install X on Server1, install xpdf on it and export X to Server2...

Just kidding, is this a one-time thing or recursive action ?

If one-time, scp will do the trick.

Otherwise, just start NFS on Server1 and mount the directory where the file resides on Server2. sshfs is justifiable if you need encryption.
