Well most presentation programs allow left/right click to go back and
forth in the presentation.  PDF is of course NOT meant as a way to do
presentations, but rather as a way to send documents/brochures to people
in a consistent format.

Thinks like openoffice.org and pointless do decent presentation
programs.  The openoffice.org one can certainly generate PDFs if it is
anything like the rest of openoffice, and I suspect pointless is likely
to have some way to generate output from it's presentations too (it iis
a rather neat scriptable system with support for many file types in it).
