AFAIK there need no such thing as Adobe Acrobat Reader for linux. There are several good alternatives. Look in synaptic for Evince or xpdf.

There is actually. It's not open source, however, so Debian doesn't distribute it. You can get it through the 3rd party debian-multimedia repository, though.
Enable that in your sources.list. The package is called acroread.
However, I support using open source alternatives, like evince, epdfview, or xpdf.
