Where to get libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 ? I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.

I'm actually trying to run Adobe Reader under Ubuntu 24.04, but failed. And I even did sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386, but still no luck to run Adobe Reader.

I even tried the solution sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 suggested on stackoverflow, but:

E: Unable to locate package libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0'

Finally, I noticed

ldd /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread | grep "not found"
    linux-gate.so.1 (0xf2700000)
    libBIB.so => not found
    libBIBUtils.so => not found
    libACE.so => not found
    libAGM.so => not found
    libCoolType.so => not found
    libAXE8SharedExpat.so => not found
    libJP2K.so => not found
    libAdobeXMP.so => not found
    libicuuc.so.36 => not found
    libssl.so.0.9.8 => not found
    libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => not found
    libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 => not found
    libResAccess.so => not found

Anyway, how to successfully run Acrobat Reader on Ubuntu 24.04?

Cheers

I've got acroread working after installing libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0 from Debian Bookworm:

wget http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gdk-pixbuf-xlib/libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0_2.40.2-2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0_2.40.2-2_i386.deb

Well, acroread 32bit version worked fine until the upgrade to Ubuntu 24, which i for one would have liked to continue.

Evince, Atril and the like don't have the full function set of acroread. In my case i need to see an embedded XML in a PDF/A.

acrordrdc in wine i'll try, but i think that's a crutch.

For acrordrdc on Snap i won't start with the Snap system, period.

That's what's wrong. Best regards.
