Ok. I think I've already done this BJIC, I purged acroread, downloaded the 64 bit and installed with gdebi via dolphin and apt-cache policy still shows dependencies for ia32-libs,  nspluginwrapper,etc. Shouldn't the 64 bit acroread not depend on these? Also, when you say "gdebi from the download folder" I suppose you mean via nautilus and not from the console.

Policy, for me, doesn't show everything you list above.  Is it a problem of some sort or just the difference between Kubuntu-desktop and Ubuntu-desktop?  My output:
apt-cache policy acroread
acroread:
  Installed: 9.1.3-1jaunty1
  Candidate: 9.1.3-1jaunty1
  Version table:
 *** 9.1.3-1jaunty1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
