Yes–there are a few options. An old version of Acrobat Reader (4.05) is at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/4.x/sunx86-ar-405.tar.gz As newer versions come available this the location may change. Alternative PDF readers for S86 include Evince, gpdf, ggv, and XPDF. Evince seems to be the best and is included in OpenSolaris. The (old) XPDF viewer is available on the Solaris Companion CD and at http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/ The Evince viewer, http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/ binary is at http://www.blastwave.org/ and Solaris Express. Transitive has free download software that runs the (up-to-date) Solaris SPARC Adobe Acrobat reader. It’s available from http://www.transitive.com/reader In 2009, a Adobe will release a native Acrobat Reader 9 for Solaris x86.

Yes. It’s at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/4.x/sunx86-ar-405.tar.gz As newer versions come available this the location may change. For example, if 5.x becomes available, change 4.x to 5.x (Personally, I don’t want a newer version, as they seem to get more bloated and advertising-laden with each release). Alternative PDF readers for S86 include gpdf, ggv, and XPDF. GNOME has gpdf and ggv for viewing PDF files. The XPDF viewer is available on the Solaris Companion CD and at http://wwws.sun.
