downloading and installing acroread goes well, but when I try to execute it, I get:
UTF-8 not supported, using ISO-..... Aborted.
Others have answered this question, but be aware of the other acrobat crash situation.
If you search for text (Control-F) that does not exist in your document, acroread will inform you of this fact in a popup window, then crash when you click 'Ok'.
It's not a killer bug, but it is darn annoying.
