   Interesting. But it needs to run the important features. I may try one day.

   Sure, okular is very good. However, if you need to fill a tax form in   
   pdf, in most cases only Acroread will work. It is not part of the   
   standard. It needs javascript, and a document reader that can execute   
   foreign code when viewing a document is a very dangerous feature.   
   Fortunately very few departments use this feature.   
      
   Another thing I probably can not do in Linux is legally sign a PDF. At   
   least I don't know how to do it.
