Adobe has not released 64bit Acrobat reader for Linux and its not possible to install 32bit acrobat reader without doing some tweaks on 64bit Linux.  so solution is to install i486 version of Acrobat reader.

Its Available for download at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4454&fileID=4162

After you download the AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin file
open terminal and cd to the directory where you have saved the installation file

Now type sudo chmod a+x AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin

And Then type sudo ./AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin

This should install Acrobat reader on your 64bit Linux Os

For other Versions of Acrobat reader for Linux And Solaris
