It's better than Adobe in that they have a current version for linux.
They are, however, closed source.

I think the main point is being missed. I have Okular and xpdf. The
company's software would only work with Adobe. As for the edition 7
web site I don't remember where I found it. I can look
again if it is neededful.

Yes, by you.  You asked whether Adobe Acrobat, which is a proprietary program 
belonging to Adobe, would run on Debian.  Sven said no.

Other people found that too short and are trying to find a way to help.  You 
have your answer.  Modern Adobe Acrobat will not run on Debian.

You can either try out some of the suggestions or not try out some of the 
suggestions.  But you have your answer.

if one was looking for salespeople in debian to satisfy their minimum
expectations in order to buy it, he/she would have missed the whole point.

1 A tax reviewer that would only "sell" service if the customer
satisfied their demands is one that would least likely have human input
in whether what is submitted or not is valid.  The machine will take as
valid an expense of 129,99 as 12999 if that is how it was entered, your
tax will be less and it will not be the adobe client's fault.  A real
auditor would inquire on the validity of a 13 thousand gas receipt.

2 The security of your private tax information will be transmitted
through win-dose pseudo-security by a pseudo software's internal
encoding to some insecure server (unless it is based on linux which can
handle security well from the doorstep and inwards).

3  I think the decision of the system should be based on a better and
wider overall look of the big picture.  These good people here are not
able to make tax-related decisions for anyone. I am among those who have
been helped and eager to know enough to help others.  The problem with
adobe is not one that could be addressed here, but I am trying to
establish that the problem is not with adobe's products but with those
who have taken the blackmail and internalized it.  Imagine being on
death row for all the wrong reasons, for not shooting the deputy only
the sheriff, and the only way to appeal is by submitting a form through
acrobat.  And there may come a day where running and distributing linux
may become illegal.  How many of us will still be here to help.

Yes.

> Lisi

Doesn't that android thing have acrobat in it, probably for a fee?  I
would just get a second hand generic tablet just for that purpose  and
leave it half charged and off the remaining time.  It would be more
secure than trying to keep your private information in the online pc you
use daily.  If you can't spare 50 bucks for a tablet chances are you
don't need an accounting service or filing taxes probably :)

No, the question was, if it is available "with Debian", not if it would
run "on Debian". And the answer is "no", it is and was never available
with (or from) Debian.

It is also no longer officially supported or available for Linux from
Adobe on their official website. Go to
https://get.adobe.com/de/reader/otherversions/ and try to select "Linux"
as OS.

And the Debian package on their FTP server, containing an old and
outdated, security vulnerable version, may only still be there because
someone forgot to remove it, it could be gone tomorrow.

Grüße,
Sven.

I was careless with my prepositions.  Sorry.  Though the answer remains 
effectively the same in this case!!  I think the OP actually meant "on" (I 
don't think he cared who supplied it!), and didn't read carefully enough.
