I've used evince for a few years, and it's getting better and better.
Or you got xpdf and okular (in the kdegraphics package) which is fairly
popular too.  In addition Firefox 24 (available in SL6.3, iirc) and
newer includes pdf.js, which displays PDFs fairly well inside the browser.

It mostly depends on your needs.  There are some features which works
less good in the alternatives, and even a few scenarios where Adobe
Reader seems to be the only alternative.  But I'd try out what's already
in SL first and see if it covers your need.  Most of them are usually
faster than Adobe Reader too.
