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.
