Acroread 4 is available:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/4.x/sunx86-ar-405.tar.gz

You might not consider it decent.

I'm about to release pstotext as a package which will allow gsview
to search for text.  I currently have on test before first release,
you can try it here:

http://blastwave.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/csw/users/james/pstotext-1.9
-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz
http://blastwave.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/csw/users/james/pstotext-1.9
-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz

gsview + pstotext allows searching for strings in Postscript
as well as in PDF.


I prefer acroread 4 for PDF viewing.
