I don't think u can, Adobe just luanched a case against a Russian Software company for creating a PDF viewer/creator, they are protecting that technology pretty feircly.

Some linux distributions come with pdf2text (or pdftotext) which will extract the text from a pdf. Then you could use any text viewer to look through it.
