or some other software, like Squid? If you're using mod_proxy with
Apache, I don't think caching is done automatically, you'll want to
look at mod_cache: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_cache.html
For other software, dedicated caching proxies (again, like Squid)
usually keep their cache is a more complex way then you seem to be
expecting. For instance, the cache may be stored partially in RAM and
partially on disk, or in a database. At any rate, cahce entries are
not generally stored in any kind of user-friendly way where you can
just browse to the cache directory and look for *.pdf files. They're
typically stored based on some sort of hashing mechanism so they can
be quickly recovered.
