Sounds more like won't to me.  I can (and do) read PDFs on my Palm m500,
an old Red Hat 6.2 box, an old OS/2 box, and boxen much newer and
"fancier".  Now I'm not sure what all is in this missive that realy 
*needs* to be in a PDF.  But bitching about it being in some "propietary" 
format like it's some Microsoft format is just silly.  There are official 
Adobe Acrobat viewer programs for old and oddball systems (OS/2 and 
PalmOS), never mind "current" systems.  For everything else there are open 
source options like xpdf or ghostscript/ghostview.  I can view a PDF on my 
"old" Amiga 2000 if I like.
