I have had trouble, stability wise, with pervious versions of Acrobat
reader on debian. I think that may be in part because Adobe distributes
binarys, hence the program is not always compiled against the exact
libraries that it will be used with.
My solution is to use xpdf. I have found xpdf to be fast, light, functional,
and robust. If suse doesnt package it (that would suprise me), you can
get the source and build it yourself.
