I'm not even sure what I have on this machine for PDF viewing because I don't view PDFs on Windows. I have Opera and Seamonkey installed for Browsers, and Opera is Default, but if I'm looking at a PDF, I do it on Linux or BSD where I can use XPDF, and the "Swiss Army Chainsaw" of PDF tools. Which I won't name because then you'll all have to look for it.
There is a tool I found that is like a PDF everything.... I can't even remember where I found it, but it says that if a PDF is like a Book, then this tool is the way you add pages, delete pages, and change them.
Konq also has a built in viewer too, so there are way more options, and it's not like they can actually "Force" the installer to do this, because, well, they don't do much on anything other than Windows and Mac OS, so, you just remove what you don't want, and install it. There isn't even a menu to ask if you want to install the other crap because you can actually remove that entire section.
I checked a minute ago to see what was there on my machine I read PDFs on, and I have like a bunch.
