What do you use?

Are there good, secure/safe viewers available for Windows? Linux?

On Linux. I've used xpdf and gpdf. Neither was perfect but they tended
to get the job done. For example, I recently made a .PS with AbiWord
on Linux and then used ps2pdf to make it into a PDF. gpdf opens it but
it's blank. Probably a fonts or CUPS issue.

Adobe's viewer is pretty darn reliable.
