It would certainly be nice to have an open-source PDF viewer
approaching Adove Reader's capabilities. I've never seen any moves in
this direction, though. The impression I have is that 99% of people
only need very basic PDF viewer functionality, and regard most of
Adobe Reader's features as bloat.
Personally I find this worrying: I'm using Adobe Reader 9 on Linux,
Adobe aren't going to release any newer Linux versions, and at some
point I will run into a feature I need which is not supported either
by AR9 or any open-source viewer.
