There are 2 or 3(?) "document viewers" out there besides Acroread.
Evince and xpdf spring to mind immediately.

A quick "yum search PDF" says that openoffice Draw will import PDFs,
epdfview, and pdf-renderer are also out there, plus a slew of pdf2xxx
programs to convert pdfs to something else....

I'm not sure if "Document Viewer" is a Fedora generic tool that is
configurable to point to one specific tool (preferred application) or not.
