GPDF crashes on me about 1/2 the time or more before it even opens up
the pdf doc. Acrobat 7 for Sparc is out now, you might give that a
shot. I am not a fan of Adobe either. I just want something that when
I click on the pdf file, the friggin application opens.

Woah, GPDF sucks and you want Adobe? I'm really surprised to hear that.
For us, Adobe Acrobat barely functions. We are using Acrobat Reader 5
for Solaris Sparc. It doesn't embed itself in the web browser properly
most of the time. It takes much longer to load. It uses its own
mysterious printing mechanisms, which I haven't taken the time to figure
out yet. And Gpdf just works. Hmm...

This is no doubt a problem.
There is a 4.0 version of acroread on Adobe's FTP site
for Solaris x86, I think this one is correct:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/4.x/sunx86-ar-40.tar.gz
I use with with 95% success, Your Milage May Vary.
If Adobe digs in their heels for porting their
latest to Solaris x86, 'evince' may be your best
hope, but it has a lot of dependencies on the
latest/greatest Gnome libraries. I believe it is
planned to be included with the Solaris Nevada JDS
release.
Some people like xpdf as the best available
option. Personally all I can say is "There's no
accounting for taste" ;-). If you run into
problems with Acroread 4.0, and can't use evince,
this is probably your best option.
