Hello, I need replacements for this: Coreldraw, Autocad, Opus (http://www.ecosoft.com.mx/opus.php), Adobe Reader.
I do not want to use Wine and this is the software that stops me for changing to Open SUSE or Linux in general.
Thank you for your help. 
It may help to understand how you use some of these, and thus why you have
not seen replacements already. For example, Most Linux distributions come
with Gimp, which is a great program for image editing. Also, Inkscape is
available on openSUSE for vector-based image-editing. LibreOffice comes
with a drawing program as well, but itās probably not on par with the
other two mentioned.
okular comes with KDE and opens PDFs nicely 99% of the time. I can even
manipulate PDFs that have the inline editable forms with it. I would
guess there is an equivalent in Gnome, but itās been a while since I used
that predominantly.
Iāve seen CAD software threads before; you may want to just search this
forum from a year or two ago when there were some discussions, or use
Google in general. Not on par with AutoCAD I use SweetHome3D to do some
really basic stuff, including rendering a 3D representation of houses,
which is pretty neat for free stuff.

Good luck.

It depends what you want them for.
For instance, if you want to create signed PDFs, then you can not. If
you want to verify signatures, you can not. If you want to fill forms
that use javescript code, you can not. Everything else with PDFs, yes.
There is acroread in Linux, but it is version 9.5.5-8, and it will never
be updated. As long as it works, you can do most of the above. I have
not tried creating signed PDFs, though.

CorelDraw: I use Inkscape and have not had problems doing vector drawing without CorelDraw or Illustrator
AutoCad and Opus: I run AutoCAD and AutoCAD Architectural on a copy of Windows running in VirtualBox. Opus should work fine that way too. I enable the VMās ability to share a common clipboard by selecting the option for bi-directional sharing. Thereās also an option to allow bi-directional drag and drop and another for shared folders. Those options make it easy, for instance, to copy>paste elements to and from Inkscape and AutoCAD.
Adobe Reader: See Carlosā post above
Thank you, but my computer is not powerful enough to virtualize an operating system, that is why I need a replacement of the software, 
Are you sure about that? If it canāt run a XP VM in VMWare player, it probably wonāt have the grunt to run something like bricscad or draftsight satisfactorily. What are the system specs?
That said, I use bricscad platinum for work, itād the best native option IMO, but you have to pay for it. For free, 2D cad thereās Draftsight. These two have the most polished interface and are the most similar to autocad, so the learning curve is not steep. There was also one called ares commander, but if felt heavy when I tried it (years ago, granted) and fell off the radar since then.
Bricscad is a great package, and it seems that the license is multiplatform - at least I have two activated installs, one in windows and the other in linux. Of the other cad packages in the link you posted, most are not autocad-like interface-wise, some are for 3D modelling only, some are quite limited, a couple have not been updated for decades and Iām quite sure that one is a scamā¦
I use āalternative toā to find approximate replacements for all types of software.
Keep in mind thought that hardly anything is an exact drop in replacement
Personally, I use Qcad for my CAD, but mainly for viewing projects created by others. I have no idea how capable it might be to actually create.
I use Adobe Reader because itās free and generally supports all PDF versions.
If youāre running these kinds of programs you shouldnāt be working on a machine with limited resources to start off with. If you do find yourself unable to run necessary programs, you can also look into running those apps on a remote machine.
TSU
some of those are quite expensive commercial apps, I donāt draw or do cad but try these:
search for them in yast or at https://software.opensuse.org
Inkscape or dia or libreoffice draw as a coreldraw replacement, Librecad as an Autocad replacement, Okular or qpdfview or evince as an adobe reader replacements, about opus I donāt speak Spanish and they donāt have a simple description of what they sell, in any case you should be able to run it under wine.
Why donāt you want to use wine, wine is cool. Valve uses wine to run steam games on their Linux based game consoles.

It is not a single app, but several. Perhaps autocad modules. For
building projects (engineering?) cost calculation, job design and control.
I only looked at the first page, Iām not familiar with it.

For the record I just found out that it is possible to created signed
PDF documents from LibreOffice 4.4.5, and acroread is happy verifying them.
