When I most recently installed it on Ubuntu 16.04, I got a few errors:

It took a while to open the first time I ran it. I typically open files with Acrobat by using the terminal and the acroread filename.pdf command.

deb from here: Īnd install it by opening the file. Run command below in terminal to edit the config file: sudo gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.listįind out and change the line application/pdf=sktopĪdd below line into the end: application/fdf=sktopįinally save the file and restart nautilus (run command nautilus -q in terminal) to apply changes.

How to Set Adobe Reader as default PDF reader: Once installed, you should be able to open it from Unity dash or Application menu.Īfter properly installed Adobe Reader, don’t forget to remove the Canonical Partners repository for Precise: sudo add-apt-repository -r "deb precise partner"

Note that there’s no visual feed back when you typing a password.Īfter you added the repository, update package lists and install the acroread package by running below commands one by one: sudo apt-get update When it opens, paste the command below and hit enter to add the repository: sudo add-apt-repository "deb precise partner" Open up terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard. Check this out and follow instructions to install: Yes there is, but the support has been dropped. I might add instructions for that later (seems unlikely given that I wrote that over two years ago!). You can drag the desktop file into the Launcher to get a button there, you can also add an icon for it in the Ubuntu Dash using alacarte ('Main Menu'). You'll need to open PlayOnLinux to run Adobe Reader DC each time (note that you can have this installed alongside Adobe Reader 9.5.5).

Install PlayOnLinux (as of 22 December 2018 you must get it this way, and not through Ubuntu Software, to ensure that you have the Wine version required to install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC).

For Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (running with Wine) You can, however, get a newer version using the process below (this installs a Windows version of Adobe Reader on Ubuntu).

This is, of course, a very outdated version of Adobe Reader, but this is not Ubuntu's fault, Adobe haven't updated the Linux client of Adobe Reader. If it still doesn't work, try sudo apt install libxml2:i386. If you can't find/run Adobe Reader, you will need to run sudo apt -f install to resolve dependencies. There's less of a chance you'll ruin your system if you get it this way.

For Adobe Reader 9.5.5 (running natively without Wine)ĭon't add the Ubuntu 12.04 Partner repository, you're not really supposed to add repositories from previous Ubuntu versions! Get the Deb from here ( source - it's also linked in the question), no it won't be automatically updated but since it's no longer supported (and Ubuntu can't patch security vulnerabilities for it in Ubuntu 12.04 anyway because it's proprietary) that doesn't matter.
