I tried Evince first, but there was some form it was having difficulty
with. And given there is a deadline for tax things, I didn't have a
lot of time to try to figure it out and was kind of forced to try
acroread.   What I should have done in retrospect was create a brand
new Unix user account, did my "dirty" things there, and then deleted
it all.

I was just surprised to find that it was somehow auto-installing
things when I didn't ask it to, and when I didn't start the
application myself.  I don't like surprises like that.

Thanks for that.  It sounds useful.
