I have upgraded to a 64 bit, and installed Ubuntu 15.10, I'm lacking a good PDF reader. How do I install Adobe Reader for Ubuntu even though it is no longer available for Linux?

Aside from that... I've been using the Foxit PDF reader which is free at this time, and I find it to be pretty good. I have not yet tried to use it to fill in forms. – Charles Green Jan 21 '16 at 1:17

What happens when you just install it from the partners repo? – Braiam Aug 11 '16 at 23:50

3@DnrDevil Huh? Adobe PDF Reader isn't Adobe Flash Player. – edwinksl Aug 12 '16 at 3:42
If you are asking how to install Adobe PDF for Ubuntu 64 bit 15.10, then here you go. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:
First, install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0 libc6 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libidn11 libpango1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libxext6 libxml2 libxt6 zlib1g lsb-release debconf
Then, download and install adobe reader:
wget http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/acroread/acroread-bin_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i acroread-bin_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb
Finally, open adobe reader and accept the licence:

1@Ashu Sure, just follow the instructions. This should work for any version ≥ 13.04. – mchid Jan 21 '16 at 7:10

@bph Hey, if you have dependency problems, try using gdebi to install instead of dpkg as this should automate the process.
sudo apt-get install gdebi; sudo gdebi ./acroread-bin_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb– mchid Dec 25 '16 at 10:57
