[Acrobat Reader | http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/] is a [free] but not [Free] [PDF] viewer provided by [Adobe]. There are binaries for many platforms, including Windows and Linux versions.
The [PDF] page lists a few other viewers, including [Free] ones.

-
-If you are using RedHat 9 or [Fedora], AcrobatReader will probably crash at launch due to a problem with character sets:
-
- Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
- aborting
-
-This problem occurs if your locale is set to one that uses UTF-8, which many distributions are now defaulting to. On other distributions (such as [Debian] and [Slackware]), AcrobatReader prints out the warning but doesn't abort. The locale(1) command will tell you what your locate is set to.
-
-The workaround is to edit __/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread__ (or wherever the equivalent is located on your system) and add the following lines near the top
-
- LANG=C
- export LANG
-
-the UnicodeNotes page if you have no idea what "UTF-8" or "ISO8859-1" means. :-)

-!Speeding up load times (Reader 6.0 on MicrosoftWindows)
-Acrobat Reader loads many plugins when it loads.
-Removing all unneccessary plugins will mean it loads faster.
-In the "c
:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.\Reader\plug_ins" directory (obviously change this to where Reader is installed),
-remove all the files except for EWH32.api, printme.api, and search.api.
