Rather off topic, while acrobat reader is Adobe and authoritative,
there are a lot of other 3rd-party pdf viewers around. xpdf
(http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html) provides text search
functionally and mostly just a single binary so it shouldn't require
sysadmin installation or assistance to use. Should make your life a bit 
easier when you are searching for something in big thick manuals.
