I believe that gv (a postscript/pdf viewer) can bypass adobe
passwords...I used it once to print a "protected" pdf file.
Anyway, you should be able to install the tarball...I do not believe a
deb is available. Non deb packages are generally installed in
/usr/local, and I think that is the default, anyway.
The only annoying thing in my case is that the "license" text continue
to pop up every time I invoke it (once per session)...I suppose once
can probably turn this off by looking at the appropriate configuration
file. I haven't done it.

Good luck. V.
