Christopher, I did all that and still get acroread 9.4.7-1oneiric1. Where are you getting the newer version from? Could you check /etc/apt/sources.list (and sources.list.d/) on your system to see if you are pulling from a non-standard repo? Also, are you running a 64-bit system (maybe it only exists for 32bit...?)
I don't understand repo layouts, but the following looks suspicious: http://archive.canonical.com/dists/precise/partner/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 lists acroread 9.4.7-1oneiric1 http://archive.canonical.com/dists/precise-updates/partner/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 http://archive.canonical.com/dists/precise-proposed/partner/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 both empty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997728 Title: Ubuntu port of acroread degrades images (works on Win7) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/997728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
