Software Installation – How to Install Adobe Acrobat in Ubuntu 16.04

16.04adobe-acrobatsoftware installation

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

    sudo apt-get install libxml2:i386 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade 
apt-cache search adobereader-enu

    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?

System: Ubuntu 16.04, 64 bit
Hardware: Macbook Air 2013-mid
Linux kernel: 4.6

Best Answer

I followed the tips below on Kubuntu 16.04 64 bit:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install adobereader-enu

After properly installed Adobe Reader, don’t forget to remove the Canonical Partners repository for Precise:

sudo add-apt-repository -r "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt update
