Martha,

My experience with xpdf is that it will not display some complex
graphics properly.

There are situations where xpdf is the only PDF viewing option (such as
SCO Unix) and so there is not much you can do about it. But since Reader
is available for Linux, I think in this case it is incumbent on the user
to use the best viewer available to viewer your documents.
