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?
