Linux support via wine
I like all adobe products but I don't like the fact that to use them I should use Windows or Mac. I understand supporting Linux is a huge work but for something as small as acrobat reader it is possible with little effort.
It is possible to install acrobat reader on Linux via wine. I suggest packaging acrobat reader with wine and distributing it to Linux.

Most of the work is done for you, there's just a few issues with fonts --- https://github.com/mmtrt/acrordrdc-snap
I would love to see this. For now, Adobe Reader seems to be the only pdf software that supports custom stamps, highlighting, and sticky not annotations. (In addition to the embedded javascript features of some pdfs.)
I'd MUCH prefer reviving the native linux support from a decade ago (2013), but at this point anything would be good.

Running Adobe Acrobat via Wine is still a rather troublesome endeavour, I much rather would like to see native Linux support revived for Adobe Acrobat (as was the case for the Adobe Reader 9.x and earlier).
