Probably just:
gs -sDEVICE=x11 file.pdf (I don't know how resolutions work under X, you may need to specify that as well, so read Use.html).

I regret to report that the results of using this command, after having installed Slack4's gs, are roughly the same as the results I get when trying to view pdf files using xpdf. It opens a viewing window but, unlike xpdf, instead of random characters appearing on the page, the page is simply blank. If I run this command on a file with English text on it, the file displays pretty normally--much like the results I get with English-language pdf's when I view them with xpdf. Maybe I'll find the resolution later.

Thanks,
James
