I installed it but when I try to run it nothing shows..

On Adobe's requirements for ubuntu page it says:"32-bit Intel® Pentium® processor or equivalent"

Can I infer from it that adobe reader doesn't run on 64-bit processors in Ubuntu?

Thanks..

You're reading it wrong, you need a 32-bit as minimum to run it. 64-bit processors can handle 32-bit instructions as well as 64-bit. – Uri Herrera Jan 11 at 20:01
@Uri, I see, thanks.. – Roy Jan 11 at 20:55

You'll need to run this command to get Adobe Reader to actually work:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
