There are plenty of open source tools on Linux that can assist with pdf files. However, sometimes you just have to do something that requires Adobe Acrobat (e.g., editing pdf files). You can’t install Adobe Acrobat directly on Linux; I currently [use](http://blog.nguyenvq.com/2010/12/01/virtualization-with-virtualbox-running-windows-inside-linux/) Adobe Acrobat via a Windows virtual machine via VirtualBox. [This](http://lifehacker.com/#!5777213/five-best-pdf-tools) post lists some popular pdf tools, and among them are tools from [Foxit](http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/). The reader can be installed on Linux, but not Phantom, their Acrobat alternative. However, you can install the Windows version through [WINE](http://www.winehq.org/).

The installation file is an MSI file. Double-clicking an MSI doesn’t work. To launch it, [this](http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/how-to-install-msi-files-625319/) post shows:

wine msiexec /i myfile.msi
