Adobe gave up supporting Acrobat reader for Linux long time ago, so it’s stuck at the old 32-bit version<\/a> (9.5.5):<\/p>\n

The tutorial websites tells you to use wget, but sometimes you might run into authentication problems. You can simply use the links above and double-click the .deb file to install.<\/p>\n

on run because you didn’t install the 32-bit version<\/a> of it. Enable i386 (x86 or 32-bit) packages first then get the 32-bit library:<\/p>\n
dpkg --add-architecture i386<\/pre>\n
apt-get install libxml2:i386 ia32-libs<\/pre>\n
There are some GTK complaints<\/a> if you run it on a command line, but it doesn’t affect the uses so you can safely ignore them<\/p>\n
