yet another minor annoyance with Adobe PDF in Linux. I was having a problem because some of the PDF documents that my company was sending me were not displaying properly. I would be able to see graphics but no Text. Long story short, here is the answer:
Have you tried installing the Acroread Fonts package? You may need to add the Medibuntu Repo to access the package, I'm not sure.
If you try this in the terminal it should install the package:
sudo apt-get install acroread-fonts
Well, That was simple enough. Would be nice if this was a dependency of Adobe PDF Reader when it was installed.
