Unless you need some feature that might only be in Adobe’s reader, I’d suggest using one of the open source PDF viewers. They might already be installed.
evince is my favorite, also kpdf and xpdf are good. They are all simple and straightforward.
A proxy server is a server that services the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. You would need to know the address of the proxy server.
If you want to install acrobat under wine you should use the windows version. The linux options you listed will not work in wine/windows.
You can install acrobat (called acroread) in kubuntu. See the links below.
I strongly recommend using Adobe Reader 9.1.3 for Linux platform.
Please see the instructions for installing it via apt-get at: http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2009/04/adobe_reader_now_available_thr.html
Or, via yum at: http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2008/02/adobe_reader_now_available_via.html
