OK. A couple of things:

1) A partner repository cannot exist on a beta product until release, as
far as my understanding of the release process. I could be wrong.

2) a PPA may exist, but unlikely as Adobe isn't a GPL product.

3) We are still unaware of a roadmap for Acrobat for Karmic, since it
still is in beta,

32 bit support for a 64 bit architecture is doable via ia32-libs
support. (Googleearth etc.) Not optimal, but it works.

Apparently, newer versions of "acroread" do support native 64 bit. This is preferred.
I have done a few google searches and none seem accurate enough to point me to a repository that has it. One suggestion was to install a deb. That may work, but require a "force-architecture" switch to get the deb to install (exact error message indicates basically wrong architecture). Undesirable for several reasons.

Conclusion - I'd mark the bug as "invalid" but we need a better roadmap,
or a reason until Karmic is officially released. Once Karmic is out of
beta, we can address that issue.
