** Description changed:

- Please add 'acroread' package to the Partner repository for Ubuntu
- Saucy.
+ 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

+ 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
