Indeed. Once you get it onto your PATH, however, there's a decent chance 
it'll segfault on you when you run it. If you encounter this issue, then 
insert the following line into the top of /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread :

LANG=en_AU
LC_ALL=en_AU
export LANG LC_ALL

(acroread has a bug with .utf8 locales).
