The models are viewable in Windows and OSX but I can't find any way to view them in Ubuntu.

If you can't get it in software center, Check . Download .deb package.
Adobe dropped Linux support, but still possible to find it here:
- ftp://
- (repackaged)
You can install PlayOnLinux (sudo apt install playonlinux) and then use the PlayOnLinux GUI to install and run Adobe Acrobat Reader DC:
Within PlayOnLinux, you can then create a file association to PDF files:
Then you can can right-click PDFs from your file manager, select to open with PlayOnLinux, and they will open and display:
This worked for me on Ubuntu 17.10 (64-bit) with PlayOnLinux 4.2.12 and Wine version 1.9.0. There was some little glitch that occurred during the installation process, but eventually everything seems to be working fine.
2This pdf file seems working just fine to me :
Try using Foxit reader,
To install it : sudo apt-get install foxitreader
or visit this wiki article about it : Here
