You can use Adobe Reader for Linux from www.adobe.com.
Run the .bin file and follow instructions.
By installing it into /usr/local, you stay out of reach of the package
manager. There is an uninstall option though.

What problems exactly?

The usual criticism of alternatives for Adobe's Reader revolves around
PDF forms, which are still problematic to fill out.

Embedded Flash and Javascript are obviously problematic, too, but it
seems that no one misses *that*.
