The Linux file command will tell you if a .pdb (or .prc) is ApportisDoc or not - but it just looks at the header. There are other e-book formats that use the .pdb file type. FBReader will also read Plucker .pdb files (as well as ApportisDoc and unencrypted MobiPocket), but there are other .pdb e-books that neither FBReader or MobiPocket will read.
