However, some files may not display properly on Ubuntu's default PDF reader Evince or PDF forms may not work as expected. Hence, you may still need to use it.

Here is how to install the Adobe Reader (acroread) if you need to:

1. Download the .deb archive from the Adobe servers (yes, it's still there):

   cd /tmp && wget http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
   

2. Install required dependencies first:

   sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libnss3-1d:i386 libnspr4-0d:i386 lib32nss-mdns libxml2:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libstdc++6:i386
   

3. Install the downloaded .deb file:

   sudo dpkg -i AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
   

The above instructions worked for me on a 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04.
