You can use Xournal. Works on my 64bit system.

The KDE default Okular (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okular) supports highlighting, underlining and so on.

Try http://www.mendeley.com/. They have a nice client with a reader that can annotate, and it's great for organizing your PDFs as well.

Unfortunately it keeps notes separately from the pdf file. – Alexey Jul 19 '12 at 21:07

You can install the 32bit foxit on 64bit ubuntu by running the command sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture <name of the file>.deb in a terminal in the same folder as the .deb file.

In such a way, you will not lose the application you are familiar with and you won't have to endure running it through wine either.

Note: the linux version of Foxit does not support text highlighting!
