This is now called "Adobe Reader", and probably is not final, but rather a RC pulled out due to demand from Dutch businesses (which have to submit their tax statements electronically before April 1st). But it does run great, much faster than v.5, renders all kind of fonts properly, and it's probably the only way to view forms and DRM protected docs under Linux.
Works mighty fine here, either as standalone or Konqueror/ Firefox plugin.

Yeah I've been using it since a couple of weeks, the only thing not working is my wheel mouse... But it is a really great product. It is way ahead of pdf "viewers" wich won't let you search, etc.

kpdf of the new KDE desktop (3.4.0) is pretty close... you can select text and icons and copypaste them anywhere, and there's also seamless Konqueror integration. But while kpdf has improved impressively on KDE 3.4.0, it cannot STILL read DRM protected pdf files. For that, you do need Acrobat Reader 7.
