    Work as in view or create? Open Office, (already on your system), will save created documents as PDF. Go to: File > Export as PDF. If you are merely wanting to open and view PDF files, you should already have a built in PDF viewer. If not, "acroread" works well for me. Install it through Synaptic in your menu or from the command line:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Then:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install acroread
    I hope that helps...

    pdfedit will provide basic editing capabilities... should be in the repos, IIRC.

    For reading PDFs I prefer evince to adobe's reader. I believe that it's included in Ubuntu's default install, and may be what Dapper Dan referred to. If not just type apt-get install evince.

    Pdftk

    For those comfortable with command line tools I recommend 'pdftk' available in the Ubuntu repository
