I found that to be true for Acrobat when Microsoft Fonts were used to make 
the PDF.  In that case, I used ggv.  To use ggv though, I had to get 
Japanese support in an RPM patch or add-on.  It was really easy to find 
via synaptic.

Otherwise all other pdfs worked fine under Acrobat as others have said.

Xpdf worked in that case too but the fonts were so tiny and scrunched by 
default -- taking much scrolling/resizing...
