Hi,  
not sure what’s inside the pdf, but you should be able to import the `.ga` workflow definition file into any Galaxy server.  
While logged in, select the `Workflow` tab from the top menu, then select `Upload or import workflow` (i.e., the little icon in the top right corner of your workflow list view). On the next page, you will want to provide your `.ga` file as an `Archived workflow file`.

Note that this imports the workflow definition, but in order to _run_ the workflow, you also have to have all tools used in it installed on the Galaxy instance you are working on.
