pdf _is_ an open standard, see e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format

In Evolution on Ubuntu, you can click on the link and choose to open it
in a browser. It then opens in Evince. There are several other open
source pdf viewers such as gpdf, kpdf, ggv. 

And it is a document that contains the picture along with explanation.
So it's pdf for a reason.
