I know the thread How do I install Adobe Acrobat Reader deb package downloaded from Adobe website? However, there is no Linux anymore in the installation site here. Unsuccessful attempts

  • I do DriraWassim's proposal which does not add anything to apt-get and does not show the installed .deb package in the path/search

    I download the newest .deb package here and run it. I cannot find the application anywhere in the system. It is not in the path and not in Ubuntu's search. How can you start it?

For Adobe Reader 9.5.5 (running natively without Wine)

Don't add the Ubuntu 12.04 Partner repository, you're not really supposed to add repositories from previous Ubuntu versions! Get the Deb from here (source - it's also linked in the question), no it won't be automatically updated but since it's no longer supported (and Ubuntu can't patch security vulnerabilities for it in Ubuntu 12.04 anyway because it's proprietary) that doesn't matter. There's less of a chance you'll ruin your system if you get it this way.

If you can't find/run Adobe Reader, you will need to run sudo apt -f install to resolve dependencies. If it still doesn't work, try sudo apt install libxml2:i386.

This is, of course, a very outdated version of Adobe Reader, but this is not Ubuntu's fault, Adobe haven't updated the Linux client of Adobe Reader. You can, however, get a newer version using the process below (this installs a Windows version of Adobe Reader on Ubuntu).

For Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (running with Wine)

  1. Install PlayOnLinux (as of 22 December 2018 you must get it this way, and not through Ubuntu Software, to ensure that you have the Wine version required to install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC)
    1. Press Ctrl + Alt + T
    2. Type sudo apt install wine:i386, press Enter , type your password, Enter , then type Y (when prompted), and Enter
    3. Click on the link above
    4. Click 'Ubuntu'
    5. For your Ubuntu version (to find that out, type lsb_release -a into Terminal and press Enter, look at the text next to codename), select the first line to be put into Terminal, press Ctrl + C then switch back to the Terminal, press Ctrl + Shift + V and press Enter. Follow the prompts in Terminal, do that for each of the four lines for your Ubuntu version.
  2. Load PlayOnLinux (press Super, type PlayOnLinux, press Enter)
  3. Click 'Install' (in the toolbar)
  4. Type 'Adobe Acrobat Reader DC' in the search bar
  5. Click 'Adobe Acrobat Reader DC'
  6. Click 'Install' (bottom-right)
  7. Follow the install screens
  8. Once installed, click 'Adobe Acrobat Reader DC'
  9. Click 'Run' (in the toolbar)

You'll need to open PlayOnLinux to run Adobe Reader DC each time (note that you can have this installed alongside Adobe Reader 9.5.5). You can drag the desktop file into the Launcher to get a button there, you can also add an icon for it in the Ubuntu Dash using alacarte ('Main Menu'). I might add instructions for that later (seems unlikely given that I wrote that over two years ago!).

I typically open files with Acrobat by using the terminal and the acroread filename.pdf command. It took a while to open the first time I ran it.

When I most recently installed it on Ubuntu 16.04, I got a few errors:

libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module 'canberra-gtk-module'

I fixed these with

sudo apt-get install libxml2:i386 libstdc++6:i386 (from here)

and

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 (from here)

Apparently there can be another error related to adobereader-enu:i386; run:

Then install the .deb file again and you should be sorted.

You can still use its latest version 'Adobe Acrobat Reader DC' along with wine although Adobe discontinued their PDF reader software for Linux several years ago. It works perfect for me.

First install wine and winetricks

Prepare wine to receive Acrobat Reader DC installation:

Download the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows 10 from official site http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/otherversions/

A file with extension exe will be downloaded. (AcroRdrDC1801120040_en_US.exe)Now install that exe file in wine:

(Use the same name as that of downloaded exe file)

Click Install button.

Wait until the setup is completed and click on Finish.

Now search for Acrobat Reader in applications menu and open it.

Select Always open with Protected Mode Disabled. (Adobe Reader DC runs in protected mode by default to provide an added layer of security)

Accept Licence.

Now you can open your files using Acrobat Reader DC even on Ubuntu.
