I just installed Xubuntu 14.04 and came across this problem. The only
reason I need "acroread" is that others in my team use Windows version
and annotates text. The annotations are not visible in evince but if
there are other PDF readers that support this I see no reason why
acroread should stay if it's already EOL.

Title:
  Please add Acroread package to the Partner repository for Ubuntu Saucy
  and Trusty

Status in Canonical and Adobe collaboration project:
  Confirmed
Status in “acroread” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Please add 'acroread' package to the Partner repository for Ubuntu
  Saucy and Trusty.

  lsb_release -rd
  Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
  Release: 14.04

  apt-cache policy acroread
  acroread:
    Installed: 9.5.5-1raring1
    Candidate: 9.5.5-1raring1
    Version table:
   *** 9.5.5-1raring1 0
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  What is expected to happen in a new install of either Xubuntu Saucy or
  Trusty, is acroread is available once the Partner repository is
  enabled.

  What happens instead is it's not available as per
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread .

  WORKAROUND: In Saucy, a work around is to install the deb files from
  Precise.

  WORKAROUND: In Trusty, install wine1.7 from Wine PPA
  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa and install Adobe
  Reader 9.5.0 Windows 7 English from www.adobe.com/reader.

  Attempted failed work arounds for Trusty amd64:
  1) It crashes consistently Installing package nspluginwrapper, then download and install:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/9.5.5-1raring1/+build/4580418/+files/acroread_9.5.5-1raring1_amd64.deb
  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/139929201/acroread-bin_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/9.5.5-1raring1/+build/4580419/+files/acroread_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb

  2) Download the file from www.adobe.com/reader and attempt to run it:
  sudo ./AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin
  sudo: ./AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin: command not found

  3) Attempted to download Adobe provided .deb from:
  ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
