Privacy Alert
Acrobat Reader 7 contains the ability for certain PDF files to inform a central database that they have been read. This by no means affects all PDF files, and will not be a problem at all for users who do not mind this ability. This "phoning home" can be prevented by disabling JavaScript in Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript. References:
Installation (Pre-Feisty)
You must enable the multiverse repository (see UbuntuHelp:Repositories).
To install the stand-alone reader, launch Add/Remove Applications from Applications > Add/Remove. Search for "adobe" or "reader" and select Adobe Reader. Click Apply to start the installation.
Alternatively, install acroread
via Synaptic, apt-get or aptitude.
To install the plugin for your webbrowser, install mozilla-acroread
via Synaptic, apt-get or aptitude.
Installation (Feisty and later)
acroread
is no longer available in the Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) and 7.10 (Gutsy) repos due to licensing nonsense (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/43780). It can be easily installed by adding the UbuntuHelp:Medibuntu repository and installing the acroread
package for the standalone reader and the mozilla-acroread
package for the browser plugin.

Acroread Hangs
There are incidents of acroread
hanging (confirmed with version 7.0.9-1 in Feisty). If you launch it from the terminal, it will spit out "expr: syntax error" endlessly. The problem can be fixed by editing the file /usr/bin/acroread
sudo editor /usr/bin/acroread
In the line
echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
(use ctrl-W to search for it) an extra '*' must be added in the parenthetical expression after ".so.0.":
echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
