I just tried with what I had around Acroread 9.5.5 from 2013

I had to install

libxml2:i386  
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386
libgtk2.0-bin:i386

and then it worked.

I use stretch amd64

Are you on stretch ( I forgot already if you mentioned it) 

make backup sudo cp `which acroread` `which acroread`.bkp

sudo vi `which acroread`

and change LaunchBinary() to following

LaunchBinary()
{
#    We are not LSB compliant yet, so let's not use ld-lsb.so.3 as loader.
#    if [ "`uname -s`" = "Linux" ] && [ ! -x /lib/ld-lsb.so.3 ]; then
#        exec /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ${1+"$@"}
#    else
        #exec ${1+"$@"}
        ldd ${1+"$@"}
#    fi
}

when run see what libraries are displayed and if all are there

repeat and compare with your working machine

when done revert backup sudo cp `which acroread`.bkp `which acroread`
