That would be "evince" just to clarify.
There are plenty of other options, as well (I use evince, myself).
There are xpdf, epdfview, gv (ghostview), pdfedit and kpdf, just to 
mention a few, and, yes, Virginia, there is Acrobat Reader for Linux, as 
well (http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - the page will automagically offer 
you the latest reader for Linux if you access the page from a Linux 
machine).
