Under Gnome epdfview and evince are very good alternative. Personally I've never used Acrobat Reader in any Unix-like system, but some people do have specific needs. If that's you case please raise a PR, otherwise just give a chance to other applications. If want to save building time stick with packages (smaller download and no compiling) but don't mix ports and packages if possible. Regards, Ricardo Jesus.
