Is there a particular reason you need Adobe's reader? There are lots of PDF readers in the Ubuntu repositories, and even among commercial readers there are much better options (like Foxit).
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
I need to convert pdf to eps from commandline
(I do not have to open the pdf)
I've already tried pdftops, pdf2ps, convert, ghostscript, inkscape etc.
but I do not found better quality than acroread.
Do you have a suggestion for me?
Do you think that other pdf viewer / software could make the conversion?
I've added to the apt source list from here
the source for lenny
deb
but when I try to run apt-get install acroread ti returns this lines:
:~# apt-get install acroread

Package acroread is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
acroread-debian-files
E: Package acroread has no installation candidate
after that I've run apt-get install acroread-debian-files but it returns this lines:
:~# apt-get install acroread-debian-files

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
acroread-debian-files: Depends: acroread (>= 9.4) but it is not installable
Recommends: acroread-l10n-en but it is not installable or
acroread-l10n but it is not installable
Recommends: acroread-dictionary-en but it is not installable or
acroread-dictionary but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
Do you have any suggestions?

That's where I get it for me Desktop Lenny install.
