There is no Adobe Acrobat Reader package in Ubuntu Repository until now. How to install it on our Ubuntu Desktop?
Download latest Adobe Reader from Adobe Website choose Linux - x86 (.deb) from OS list.
From console, this is latest version until i post this article (21/01/2009):
wget http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i386.deb
Install downloaded package. From Ubuntu Xwindow double click downloaded package file and install.
Console:
dpkg -i AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i386.deb
After installation finish go to Applications > Office > and find Adobe Reader shortcut.
This step by step also can be apply to CentOS since they use the same source package.
