I have a feeling that there is an issue with newer library's installing
dep's from :i386 into a multiarch system allows the adobe provided deb
to run. But am having issues with Signed forms (in particular a Canadian
Government visa application).

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5257B_1.PDF


acroread loads then crashes out with the error: 

terminate called after throwing an instance of '_miExceptionInfo'

It doesn't do this on all pdfs with form data just some.

see:

I guess the only workable solution is use it under Wine or install an
raring chroot.

Title:
  Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 not available in Trusty/Saucy repositories

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

Bug description:
  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

  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
