1). DOSPDF (basically a stripped-down Ghostscript 7.x for DOS w/ LXPIC and PDFTOPS ... or something like that)

2). Ghostscript 8.57 (Win32/HX .EXE only, needs full Ghostscript/Win32 install)
GhostScript 8.57 for DOS (V0.01) available ! (good tips)
http://www.milec.com/download/GSWC_DLL.ZIP
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript

3). Ghostscript 7.?? (I forget where, probably Michael Kostolev's old site)

4). Ghostscript 5.10 for DOS (okay, just for completeness' sake)
ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utiltext/gs510dos.zip

P.S. Just as a caveat, I never read PDFs, even in DOS, so I haven't really tried these (okay, tried DOSPDF once under DOSBox, but whatever). Just FYI, I'm no help beyond this. :-|

EDIT: Okay, I do know of one cool .PDF: Back to the Future 2 "draft" script. Granted, it won't work in DOS (I tried) due to writing-to-text permissions (gah!), but it's a cool read anyways. (Sorry, couldn't easily find a "better" URL.)
