Poll: What pdf viewer do you use?


Well, currently i'm using the adobe acrobat for linux (5.0.10)
But who uses it knows its GUI interface sux and no wheel mouse support.
other pdf viewers i used have no support for find text in pdfs.
So im looking for a good pedf viewer in Linux.
What pdf viewer do you use?

Where's the poll?

xpdf - it kinda sucks, but it's simple and easy and, yeah, scrolls with a wheel. PDF's are just a necessary evil other people inflict on me, anyway.

kpdf, kghostview and gpdf seem to do a good job for me. I recently tried theAcrobat 7 beta for Linux, it was really kool to use. It's written in gtk, so all you gnome and xfce fans will like this coz it integrates nicely into the desktop.
