Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe website can be a bit daunting ... how do I install a .BIN file?
Well, you really don't need to go the Adobe website to get Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Open a shell window and type:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install acroread
This will use apt-get to download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader for Linux.
If you however decide to use the .BIN file anyway:
chmod +x AdbeRdrxxxx_i486linux_enu.bin
sudo ./AdbeRdrxxxx_i486linux_enu.bin
For 64 bit systems you might need to install 32 bit libraries as follows:
apt-get install ia32-libs
