All of these have some well known limitations displaying some kinds of 
PDF from Scribus, especially PDF 1.4+ with transparency.

I would look into the preferences of Acrobat Reader. There are a few 
controls which can dramatically change the way PDF displays.

You can try GSview and the latest available Ghostscript. It does not 
color manage the display like Acro Reader, so CMYK colors may not 
display accurately, but it does handle PDF well. And its fast.

Hints are in the toolbox section under PDF and Acro Reader in the help 
docs.
