The problem with this, and Evince and all the others, is that Adobe
Reader *is not just a viewer*. The others are viewers: you can read
99% of PDFs.

But PDFs are also used as *forms* which you must *fill in with your
own data*. They can also be containers which can contain other
embedded documents, including PDFs inside PDFs and MS/Libre Office
documents *inside PDFs*.

The other FOSS  readers cannot handle these.

So everyone, stop telling the OP to use alternatives. We all know that
there are alternatives; they come preinstalled with Fedora.
