I have the debian non free mulltimedia link set up in my apt sources file. I did apt-get update && apt-get install acroread mozilla-acroread (another google search recommendation) and successfully installed Acrobat 9 but when I tried it although it read the pdf file in fine the google search tip of using the file reduction option in the document menu option didn't seem to appear. All I got were a sign and security pair of sub menu options under the document section of the task bar or whatever its called that didn't give me any other options when I mouse clicked on them. So I gave up with Acrobat and used the ghostscript command gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf which worked really well and made a smaller pdf file for me.
