Hi there,
>From the ports collection, it is not possible to install acroread9 as suggested
in Handbook:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/desktop-viewers.html
The port's state is DEPRECATED.
Port: print/acroread9
Moved:
Date: 2014-08-30
Reason: Deprecated: many security issues are reported and Adobe no longer
actively supports Adobe Reader for Unix

An alternative would be to recommend the ePDFView tool:
"ePDFView is a lightweight PDF document viewer that only uses the GTK+ and
Poppler libraries. It is currently under development, but already opens most
PDF files (even encrypted), save copies of documents, and has support for
printing using CUPS."

Already in ports collection: ports/graphics/epdfview/
