KPDF (or it's Gnome equiv.) > Acrobat Reader!
The Gnome 'Document Viewer' is pretty neat but I have had a couple of PDFs that displayed correctly only in Adobe Reader.
Additionally the 'Document Viewer' doesn't allow you to digitally sign PDF documents, which is something I do on a regular basis.
KPDF has been replaced by Okular which can be installed on Ubuntu by typing 'sudo apt-get install okular' in a console window. Alternatively the entire KDE graphics package can be installed by entering 'sudo apt-get install kdegraphics'.
Okular doesn't allow for digital signing of PDFs though, whoch is the primary reason I installed the Adobe package.
