Health warning: You should not run any packages without security support
such as acroread.  If you still want to, these are the steps which
worked for me

"acroread "will work without canberra-gtk-module, unity-gtk module,
murrine theme, and the overlay scrollbar  you can ignore those messages
when just trying to get it to run (though, it will be nicer if these are
fixed, and the steps below do fix most of these warnings)

1)
apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libnss3-1d:i386 libnspr4-0d:i386 lib32nss-mdns libxml2:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libstdc++6:i386 
apt-get install --reinstall gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 

2) To make many 32 bit programs work, you will also need the i386
versions of name service libraries:

It depends on the system how you do this:

aptitude search libnss | grep ^i | grep -v i386

i   libnss-ldap                     - NSS module for using LDAP as a naming serv
i A libnss-mdns                     - NSS module for Multicast DNS name resoluti
i A libnss-sss                      - Nss library for the System Security Servic
i A libnss3                         - Network Security Service libraries        
i A libnss3-nssdb                   - Network Security Security libraries - shar

I needed to make sure that the 32 bit versions of the above were installed
apt-get install libnss-ldap:i386 libnss-mdns:i386  libnss-sss:i386 libnss3:i386 libnss3-nssdb:i386


Finally:
from http://mastro77.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/installing-adobe-reader-9-in-ubuntu-1404.html
You do not need to pull in any dependencies from precise, only acroread should be installed by this next set of steps:

3)
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install acroread
sudo add-apt-repository -r "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update

If other dependencies are required, to be safe, remove the precise repository and install them from the trusty repository
sudo add-apt-repository -r "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install [list of missing dependencies]
and go back to step 3)

Title:
  incorrect multi-arch related meta information.

Status in overlay-scrollbar package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm on a 64-bit system trying to install "overlay-scrollbar-gtk2:i386"
  which depends on the "overlay-scrollbar:i386" package. "overlay-
  scrollbar:i386" doesn't have an install candidate because it's a
  "multi-arch" package. This should (or so I've been told) be reflected
  in the meta information of the "overlay-scrollbar" package but isn't,
  which is why the former package fails to install.

  As a more competent person than I put it:

  "The overlay-scrollbar package does not come in i386 or amd64 flavors;
  it comes as an "all" flavor, which installs on all archs.

  It appears to be missing the Multi-Arch: allowed header so it won't
  satisfy an i386 package depending on it. You should file a bug report
  asking that the missing header be added."
