with mandriva you can install it with:

[panchicore@localhost ~]$ su
[root@localhost ~]$ urpmi poppler

now you have available: pdftex pdftoabw pdftohtml pdftoppm pdftops pdftosrc pdftotext

I’m very glad to have found this tip since I’ve been looking for a way to index the contents of PDF files. “pdftotext” works on text in foreign languages and character sets, too, and outputs the text as UTF-8, which is excellent.

@virus, You need to take help of lesspipe and they it may work out ;)

eval "$(lesspipe)"
less file.pdf

this is the simplest way, being simple means not perfect. try:

$ less file.pdf
