The current versions for Linux don't support CJK, if you need that, then use Okular or even xpdf.

No version 6 of Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux
Dispate the claim of Adobe as pdf a format to be easly used on any system there is no a version 6 of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
I often have an ugly pop up windows says me to update to a newer version. I click OK and I download the same version I already have (becouse is the last). But I can not have version 6 and I can not use the function that need version 6
