Thanks Alan, it doesn't look as though acroread is available in
multimedia-debian yet as doing an update followed by upgrade got me

Setting up acroread-data (9.5.5-dmo1) ...
Setting up acroread-dictionary-en (9.5.5-dmo1) ...
Setting up acroread-l10n-en (9.5.5-dmo1) ...

but trying to install acroread got

No candidate version found for acroread

I could try again with the version from Adobe but then it wouldn't get
debian upgrades. May be acroread will be available in the morning!

I am trying to read that big Baptisms file on the Mac but it is a bit
of a nightmare as as soon as I touch the mouse the page skips up or down
of couple of times. It makes you realise how good Linux is when you
have to use something else for a while
