Just seconding that Avenza PDF Maps has proved to be a very useful application for our researchers who need offline data collection on our their reference basemaps. Very simple to create data capture schemas, and works well across multi-user editing. Free version is good enough for a few maps, but the expanded pay version is quite affordable, compared to other solutions, too.
(Please note that my laptop inserts random double keystrokes. Sometimes, I just can’t repair all of it.)

Another option is to use Avenza Maps (commercial) to view your georeferenced pdf's directly on a phone or tablet. This makes a simple to use mobil solution that does not require an intenet connection

If you just want something that will show a georeferenced and your
current look at viking and gpsd. I am not sure if it does
georerferenced pdf, but am 99% sure it will do geotiff. I use it with
openstreetmap TMS for looking at tracks.
I don't know if any of that works on windows, but with cygwin/X I would
expect it would. Maybe someone knows of a less-posixy approach.
You probably could just run qgis and use live gps, but that may be too
heavy for your win7-32 box.
Your subject said "mobile" which usually means phone/tablet. Not what
you asked, but there are various qgis-world apps: input, qfield, SMASH
that might do you what want, and Trail Sense on android, which can just
about do georeferenced pdf, if the pdf is in web mercator, but I'm
having a hard time with qgis-produced maps.
Also not what you asked, but if anyone knows of a command-line tool to
just print out the georeferencing information from a pdf and check it
for conformance, please let me know, and it could be useful to Josh in
debugging next steps too.
