Can anyone recommend a free PDF reader for a Solaris X64
system? Our Development Team just got this system in
and they need a free tool to read pdf files. Sorry to
say I don't know anything about Solaris systems.

Acrobat 4 is available (whee)

Otherwise, xpdf works and is bundled somewhere on the Sun discs.

xpdf is extremely generic, blazingly fast, and works very well. Doesn't
support PDF forms, though.

Alternatively, if you're running Gnome, evince is the tool of choice;
for KDE it's kpdf (I think, I don't use KDE).
