There is no recent version of Acrobat Reader for Linux, and old (was it 5.x beta?) versions rarely work on modern distros.

Acrobat 9.5 works fine on Linux, if a little slow.

This Tetris game makes it crash though.

Oh, thanks, that's good to hear!

Edit: only now I see that's also from 2009 with updates into 2013. Do you where one can easily download the latest patched version?

In my case I install it from flathub.org (works from any distro):
