cdrecord needs a .ISO file as its input. you can use mkisofs to create
one fromm file(s), its a fairly complex command with a LOT of options, but at its simplest, creating a simple RockRidge CD-ROM,
mkisofs -o mycd.iso -r dir-with-files
the specified dir will become the root of the CD. then you can use cdrecord to burn mycd.iso ... see the respective man pages for more options.

Thank you for your help . To this end , I am now able to burn my pdf file onto data cd on my CentOS . I tried to install Adobe on my CentOS , as the following : #yum install AdobeReader_enu But it didn't get through. Can you please let me know how I can have it so I no longer need to open the pdf files on my MS Windows client?
You don't *really* need Adobe Reader under CentOS. There are *lots* of open source, third party PDF readers:
evince -- should already be installed (part of the base CentOS system) gv -- available from epel xpdf -- also available from epel
Ghostscript will display a PDF file, although Ghostscript has no GUI (that is what gv is for). Ghostscript also includes some little scripts, including pdf2ps, which will convert a PDF file to a PostScript file. The resulting PostScript can then be sent to your printer:
pdf2ps somepdffile.pdf - | lpr
(Go to wiki.centos.org and search for 'third party repositories' and setup the EPel repository -- this will allow you to install gv and xpdf.)
If you *really* must have Adobe Reader, you need to install the Adobe yum repository. Visit the Adobe site to get the URL of the Adobe repo RPM.
