This is plain ridiculous.

I get my bank statements in pdf form.
1. With kpdf or ghostscript, the only thing you can do is print the 
file, there is no save option.
2. With kpdf or ghostscript there is no possibility of searching the 
pdf, which is absolutely vital for me professionaly.

I've been using various types of linux distros for the years exclusively 
for 10 years, but it's childish to call every commercial software 
"filth", particularly when it provides indispensable functionality for you.

And remember Adobe gives Acrobat Reader for free, you don't even have to 
pay for it.
