pdf in runlevel 3


Hallo
Is it possible to view pdf files from runlevel 3 (without X)
Obviously when I try to open Kpdf, I got the error:
'unable to connect to X server' or something like that. Is there
any other program not linked to X?
btw, I have Fedora Core 5 and Centos 4.3

No real console pdf viewer, though there is a fbgs script which convert pdf to tiff images through gs and view them using fbi ( a framebuffer console image viewer )
