Yes, AcroRead is here mainly to support
some rare & proprietary Adobe PDF extensions,
e. g. look at bug #944953 (definitely a curious one).

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

  or:

  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
