Installing acrobat reader for ubuntu

I was playing around with Ubuntu, and wanted to read some white papers in pdf file format. However I do not have acrobat reader. I try to apt-get install acrobat but fail with the error. I found the solution in here, which the steps is copied to below(Hence, creadit should be given to the editor of that link.) :

First of all, add Medibuntu repository in your sources list. This can be done via:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Once this is done, add Medibuntu GPG key.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring

Then update the list of available packages by

sudo apt-get update

Finally, install Acrobat Reader using

sudo apt-get install acroread
