If you have access to the Apache httpd.conf file, then define an alias to your PDF directory, e.g. 
Alias /pdf/ /view/dvsview/vops/ps/projects/

[download]
You will then be able to link to http://yoursite/pdf/xx.pdf

If this is not possible, then try writing a 'wrapper' along the lines of 

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
 
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
 
my $basedir = "/view/dvsview/vobs/ps/projects/";
my $file    = param('file');
 
open PDF,"<$basedir$file" or die("Cannot open $file: $!");
print "Content-type: application/pdf\n\n";
print while (<PDF>);

[download]
Save this as 'view.pl', then link to http://yoursite/cgi-bin/view.pl?file=xx.pdf

If you use this method then I would strongly suggest putting some better error checking in the code (you will get a server error if the open fails).

Hope this puts you on the right track,

JJ
