I have upgraded to a 64 bit, and installed Ubuntu 15.10, I'm lacking a good PDF reader. How do I install Adobe Reader for Ubuntu even though it is no longer available for Linux?

If you are asking how to install Adobe PDF for Ubuntu 64 bit 15.10, then here you go. Open a terminal and execute the following commands:

First, install the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0 libc6 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libidn11 libpango1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libxext6 libxml2 libxt6 zlib1g lsb-release debconf

Then, download and install adobe reader:

wget http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/acroread/acroread-bin_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i acroread-bin_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb

Finally, open adobe reader and accept the licence:
