I think you are unclear on what is platform-specific and what is not. If you use a component to create PDFs then that component IS Windows-specific, because .NET only runs on Windows. As for PDF files themselves, they are in no way attached to Windows. You can view a PDF file on any platform for which a viewer exists. Adobe Reader is available for Mac OS, Windows, Unix and various other platforms. I'd guess that there are third-party readers available for other Windows and other platforms too. It doesn't matter what you use to create them. If you want a free PDF generation component then there is a link to one in my signature. I've not used it myself though, so I can't vouch for it.

I was wanting to use it with Mono on Mac/Linux.
