It seems that there are still links to the package repositories for a previous Ubuntu version (precise) in your package management configuration. Even if that probably is not causing the problems that you might see, this should be remedied as preparation for any future release ugrade.

Please open a terminal and issue this command in a terminal window:

find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

and copy/paste all output into this question document as done before.

Here is the results of the command above.

Thank you.

~$ find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

I see some leftovers from previous releases, for a clean-up I would recommend doing the following:

Open a terminal and issue the command

gksudo gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
This will ask for your password and open an editor with the sources.list loaded.
Scroll down to the very end and delete the last four lines ("deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner" and the three lines below that). Save the file and close the editor.

What the cause is for adobe reader not allowing input, I do not know. Are you sure that the pdf file that you want to open has been created as a 'fill-in form'? Is it possible to fill it in when using adobe reader on a windows computer?

Actually, the adobe reader is allowing input now. I do not know how it got working but it is.

Thank you for the help.
