I think it is a script. Try "sh AdbeRdr9.3.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin"

If you add the Canonical Partners repository to Software Centre (Edit >

Thanks,
Canonical Partners repository is checked but Adobe Acrobat Reader
doesn't appear in the list of installable software! Maybe it isn't
installable this way, so do I have to do it on the command line, eg
apt-get install Acrobat 9 or similar?

Could it be that you missed the package because of it's not totally
obvious name "acroread". The version I use is "9.3.2-lucid1". Synaptic
says it is in "lucid/main (archive.canoical.com)".

Best of luck,

Lennart

Strange. Are you running Lucid, like me? Should be there. Do

sudo apt-get update

to make sure your repository lists are up to date. Check for

Hit http://archive.canonical.com lucid/partner Packages

The try again in Software Centre.

No, actually I'm running Karmic (version 9.10) - sorry, I'm not totally
familiar with all the Ubuntu names yet! So the above repository isn't
actually listed and when I type acroread into the search field of
Software Centre I don't get anything. Does this mean I've got to
install/upgrade to Lucid (version 10.04) to get Acrobat Reader 9?

I'm confused... 1) why would Scott point you to downloading and
installing manually when acroread 9.3.2 is available from the partner
repository, and 2) why did you not install via the canonical partner
repository? Adobe Reader (acroread) 9.3.2 is available from the repository:

http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/acroread/
acroread_9.3.2-karmic1_amd64.deb 14-Apr-2010 06:04 61M
acroread_9.3.2-karmic1_i386.deb 14-Apr-2010 06:04 61M

I _highly_ recommend that you _uninstall_ the manually installed version
and install the repo version. That way you will automatically be
notified of any updated versions in the future. As it stands now, you'll
be stuck with the manually installed version until you check yourself
from Adobe. Given the slew of security issues with Adobe products
lately, I'd opt to keep my system updated from the partner repository.

Actually I installed it via Synaptic Package Manager - I was a bit
confused about the distinction between that and Ubuntu Software Centre
because I couldn't find acroread in the latter. So I hope I've now
installed it correctly and will indeed be notified of any updated
versions.

Many thanks,
Andy
