You can, however, get a newer version using the process below (this installs a Windows version of Adobe Reader on Ubuntu). This is, of course, a very outdated version of Adobe Reader, but this is not Ubuntu's fault, Adobe haven't updated the Linux client of Adobe Reader. If it still doesn't work, try sudo apt install libxml2:i386. If you can't find/run Adobe Reader, you will need to run sudo apt -f install to resolve dependencies. There's less of a chance you'll ruin your system if you get it this way.
