There are several packages available to view PDF documents, among them
xpdf, gs, kghostview and Adobe's Acrobat Reader. The last one is not
available as an official package, but there is a package available from
marillat.free.fr. Add

deb http://marillat.free.fr stable main

to your sources.list to get it.

I normally use Acrobat Reader, because the other programs sometimes have
problems displaying certain documents.
