I followed the tips below on Kubuntu 16.04 64 bit:
After properly installed Adobe Reader, don’t forget to remove the Canonical Partners repository for Precise:

For Adobe Reader 9.5.5 (running natively without Wine)
Don't add the Ubuntu 12.04 Partner repository, you're not really supposed to add repositories from previous Ubuntu versions! Get the Deb from here (source - it's also linked in the question), no it won't be automatically updated but since it's no longer supported (and Ubuntu can't patch security vulnerabilities for it in Ubuntu 12.04 anyway because it's proprietary) that doesn't matter. There's less of a chance you'll ruin your system if you get it this way.
If you can't find/run Adobe Reader, you will need to run
sudo apt -f install to resolve dependencies. If it still doesn't work, try sudo apt install libxml2:i386 .
This is, of course, a very outdated version of Adobe Reader, but this is not Ubuntu's fault, Adobe haven't updated the Linux client of Adobe Reader. You can, however, get a newer version using the process below (this installs a Windows version of Adobe Reader on Ubuntu).
For Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (running with Wine)
You'll need to open PlayOnLinux to run Adobe Reader DC each time (note that you can have this installed alongside Adobe Reader 9.5.5). You can drag the desktop file into the Launcher to get a button there, you can also add an icon for it in the Ubuntu Dash using Ads20000Ads20000
alacarte ('Main Menu'). I might add instructions for that later (seems unlikely given that I wrote that over two years ago!).

Yes there is, but the support has been dropped. Check this out and follow instructions to install:
Run command below in terminal to edit the config file:

You should just be able to download the .deb from here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
and install it by opening that file. Try installing through the terminal to see any errors if it is not working through the software manager GUI: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/159103/173836
I typically open files with Acrobat by using the terminal and the
acroread filename.pdf command. It took a while to open the first time I ran it.
When I most recently installed it on Ubuntu 16.04, I got a few errors:
libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module 'canberra-gtk-module'
I fixed these with
sudo apt-get install libxml2:i386 libstdc++6:i386 (from here)
and
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 (from here)
Apparently there can be another error related to
adobereader-enu:i386 ; run:
Then install the .deb file again and you should be sorted.

You can still use its latest version 'Adobe Acrobat Reader DC' along with wine although Adobe discontinued their PDF reader software for Linux several years ago. It works perfect for me.
First install
wine and winetricks
Prepare wine to receive Acrobat Reader DC installation:
Download the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows 10 from official site http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/otherversions/
A file with extension exe will be downloaded. (
AcroRdrDC1801120040_en_US.exe )Now install that exe file in wine:
(Use the same name as that of downloaded exe file)
Click
Install button.
Wait until the setup is completed and click on
Finish .
Now search for Acrobat Reader in applications menu and open it.
Select
Always open with Protected Mode Disabled . (Adobe Reader DC runs in protected mode by default to provide an added layer of security)
Accept Licence.
Now you can open your files using Acrobat Reader DC even on Ubuntu.

I'm trying to install Adobe Reader 9 on Ubuntu 10. I'd be happiest to
apt-get install something, but I'm not picky. I downloaded a file from the web site, but neither I nor Ubuntu knew what to do with it.

What is the easiest way to get this done?

Ubuntu 10 is also called Lucid, not Karmic as Dennis put in his example, so put the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list
Run:

Why not trying the application manager?Go to applications(on the left top of your screen), then click application manager, and there you can install almost everything without even having to visit the website or anything. Just type reader, pdf or something and it will come up with adobe reader and probably some other programs that do the exact same thing.Application manager is always good place to start..
