how about xpdf? I love it. Much lighter than acrobat reader and once u muster the keyboard ( nothing hard), its a breeze to use. Its usually in the default installation, but then i dont use RH. Try it out!

what i do not like about xpdf is that there are no navigations and i cannot view the pages smoothly (just like in acrobat's continuous page option)

You say that the free version from adobe didn't install. If that is version 5, then you might want to try version 4. It's available here:

Let us know if this works.
Enjoy!

what you have to do is before running acrobat, type in your terminal LANG=C
then start the program from the terminal
