Like Petar, I was able to get Acrobat to run by adding a few additional files.
I just installed the daily build of Trusty amd64 and downloaded the Acrobat deb file from Adobe. I have not installed Wine. Acrobat failed to run until I copied the libstdc... and libxml2.so... (files & links) from an earlier version of Ubuntu. These files are located in the previous installation's /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu folder. If you start acroread from a terminal you can see which files are missing as it attempts to start. I accomplished this before reading Petar's post, so I don't know if installing libgtk2.0... would have worked for me or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Adobe, which is subscribed to adobe-isv. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176131 Title: Please add Acroread package to the Partner repository for Ubuntu Saucy and Trusty Status in Canonical and Adobe collaboration project: Confirmed Status in “acroread” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Please add 'acroread' package to the Partner repository for Ubuntu Saucy and Trusty. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) Release: 14.04 apt-cache policy acroread acroread: Installed: 9.5.5-1raring1 Candidate: 9.5.5-1raring1 Version table: *** 9.5.5-1raring1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status What is expected to happen in a new install of either Xubuntu Saucy or Trusty, is acroread is available once the Partner repository is enabled. What happens instead is it's not available as per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread . WORKAROUND: In Saucy, a work around is to install the deb files from Precise. WORKAROUND: In Trusty, install wine1.7 from Wine PPA https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa and install Adobe Reader 9.5.0 Windows 7 English from www.adobe.com/reader.
