You're downloading the wrong thing. The easiest solution is detailed here: http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2008/02/adobe_reader_now_available_via.html -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

Type: file the-file-you-downloaded.bin That will tell you what kind of file it is. If it says "shell script text" then type: sh the-file-you-downloaded.bin However are you sure you need the Abode PDF reader? In most cases you don't. Linux has several free programs that can read PDF files, e.g. okular or evince. poc
