It's a key problem that needs investment
Investment needs money and money comes from customers who pay so that the crucial question is whether or not customers who pay are interested in a free software solution for PDF processing or if the Adobe Reader as provided by Adobe for free (for no money) is sufficient for customers who pay.
as Adobe stopped providing the Reader for Linux, commercial distributions have the same issue (same as free ones used for commercial purposes). Linux Desktops (not much) are in use in public service environments worldwide and in case SUSE will provide a SLED12 (no idea if that's the case) I see improvements coming at some point. So there is hope I think but it will take some time probably and that may be a pain for some people relying on it but still the software is still available on the planet. Everyone is still free to install it. BTW, we will face a very similar situation with Flash soon and it'll be much more of a pain until alternatives are ready and polished enough.
