Exactly.  I use xpdf regularly, except when I need to fill forms.  While
it's possible to do that with flpsed (if you can put up with exporting to
postscript, playing with the cursor keys to get your entries in the right
position, and using a single font), it's not simple, so acroread is still
needed for this.
