The Adobe reader for Linux download from Adobe seems to be completely
broken for me.  That's okay because the built in PDF readers in Linux
can do the job *most* of the time.

xpdf is the old one, and KGhostView is the reader in KDE.  I tend to
like KGhostView much more than xpdf.  Unfortunately both do not work
100% especially with newer PDF's generated by the latest Adobe Acrobat.

I've managed to install the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows in
CodeWeavers CrossOver plugin, along with a few other Windows
applications that I use regularly.  That may be the only option for most
people.
