Adobe Acrobat Reader installation on ElementaryOS - Loki

Just keeping track of my searching about this topic because I got only 💩 instructions...

The Elementary Way to do it 😎

In order to keep the system clean as possible, I will just install the required dependencies:

  • Eddy from the AppCenter
  • The installation package: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
  • The missing library: libxml2:i386

Steps to follow

Follow these following steps and you are done 😉

  1. Install Eddy from the AppCenter.
  2. Download the package:
    1. cd Downloads && wget ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
    2. Open Eddy and select your Downloads folder
    3. If you see the package in the list, click on the Install button and wait the end of the installation process.
  3. Install the dependency: sudo apt install libxml2:i386

Now, you can go to your Applications menu and you should see it in the applications list. 🎉
