Now to install Acrobat reader, type:
sudo apt-get install acroread
start synaptic (you can find it in system-administration), then go to the acroread-packages, and try either "acroread-escript" or "acroread-plugins", u can mark them for installation with a right-click on them, afterwards u will have to apply your changes.
tell us what kind of media player they call it. Is it a flash-player? then u might solve the issue by installing flashplugin-nonfree, probably.
