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.
