Finally, ArtWorks 2.5 PDF output can be viewed reliably under RISC OS.

GView 1.51 in conjunction with GhostScript 8.5x displays PDF files 
with masked bitmaps, colour graduations and transparency, in short, 
GhostScript 8.5x supports all those things that other RISC OS based 
solutions (most notably, RiScript and !PDF) do not support.

GhostScript 8.5 is rather slow and memory-hungry but it is the only 
RISC OS based solution that can be successfully used to preview PDF 
files generated from ArtWorks.

GhostScript 8.5 can be downloaded from
  http://www.mw-software.com/software/ghostscript/ghostscript.html
GView 1.51 can be downloaded from
  http://www.mw-software.com/software/gview/gview.html

Please make sure you read the GhostScript 8.5 installation 
instructions, in particular the paragraph about setting up GView for 
use with GhostScript 8.5.
