I have to admit that I often think to a context pdf viewer, and mupdf seems the right candidate.

Under ubuntu 64bit 12.04 xpdf doesn't work, acroreader is still 9 32 bit (so I use wine acroreader 11)

evince is ok, probably also okular.

A context pdf viewer should be like sumatrapdf at least --- so in the end I also installed sumatrapdf.exe under linux .

Now that I have done a luatex binding for mupdf,
if we have a minimal GUI toolkit cross platform (but really minimal)
it's possible to build a pdfviewer in luatex

(ok I think that it's quite slow).
