1. Update your sources, *sudo apt-get update*
2. Install *gdebi* package
3. Install AcroRead *.deb* package using *gdebi*. This should look for your
dependencies.
4. *sudo nspluginwrapper -i /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so*
5. BUG. *~/C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt* is created when using AcroRead into
Firefox.
6. BUG for 1024x600. With *alacarte* modify your menu entry putting *env
UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= acroread* instead *acroread

*I made this some months ago. But now I'm not usually using AcroRead. I
prefer *evince* (default program for PDF files). It's faster, free...
