I don't recall any control that can display a PDF file.

dabo.ui.dPdfWindow
However, it only works on Windows, and not very well (it's an ActiveX
control that instantiates Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat Reader).

There are Linux tools to create image files from PDFs. You could do
on-the-fly conversion and display the bitmap.
Just an idea.
Or live with displaying the pdf in an external editor, using e.g.
dabo.lib.reportUtils.previewPdf()

I like the external viewer. No overhead and the viewers do a better
job that we could.
