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.

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)
acroread is no longer available in the Feisty repos due to licensing nonsense (does anyone know the details of this?). 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'
