What works
What does not
Workarounds
For the first issue of opening PDF files installing riched20 with winetricks fixes the issue.
Both of the other two limitations can be worked around using adobe reader on a phone.
Note: Some people say that msftedit with winetricks will fix the comments but I personally could not make it work with my PlayOnLinux installation.

Additional Comments
I tested the latest version of Adobe PDF 21.011.20039 and it works perfectly.
The primary reason for gold rating is simple. The core functions of reading/filling a PDF works perfectly. Also this is the only tool that can be used to fill XFA PDF forms. And it does a fantastic Job at that.

Submitting this installation guide for someone new to wine:
This is the only software that allows users to properly fill out XFA PDF forms. These forms are used by a lot of government agencies and other organizations. You cannot use the mobile versions of Adobe Reader to fill these forms either. You need a windows or Mac version to do this.
On Linux installing the windows Version of Adobe reader on wine allows you to get this ability.

Right now the signature tool still doesn't work. It seems to be using Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) (as do other online features like log in) and CEF seems to be generally problematic in Wine (e.g. bug 44985).

My OS is Ubuntu 20.04 w/Cinnamon
1. Goto webpage www.playonlinux.com/en/app-2653-Adobe_Acrobat_Reader_DC.html
2. Click on "Source code" in the first (latest) post.
3. Copy the code to Text Editor or Gedit.
4. Save it as Adobe_Reader_DC.sh and then make it executable in the file properties window. (I saved mine in PlayOnLinux's virtual drives folder)
6. Run PlayOnLinux
7. Make sure Wine version 4.0.3 is available in the Tools>>> Manage Wine versions (I installed both 386 and X64)
8. Goto Tools>>> Run a local script, find your script and run it. It will install Adobe Reader, just click on yes, next, etc to all dialogs. It will also offer to install Mono, you should accept this.
9. Once the installation is complete you must download and install Windows fonts to usr/shared/fonts if you don't have them already.
10. Download the zip file to your downloads folder, I used this link : www.w7df.com/p/windows-7.html
11. Extract the file and copy it as is to usr/shared/font using Nautilus as superuser. To do so, type "sudo nautilus" in a terminal.
12. You should now find Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in your menu and it should work as described above.

I have tried your latest method with AcroRdrDC1901020099_en_US.exe but I must have the wrong settings in PlayOnLinux as it fails to install.

I could successfully install Acrobat Reader through wine as following:
winetricks atmlib
winetricks riched20
winetricks wsh57
winetricks mspatcha
Get the Windows 7 fonts, especially the sego* fonts.
for ex. from here www.w7df.com/7/download.html
Copy the them in /usr/share/fonts
execute command in a terminal:
sudo fc-cache -vf
After successful installation, at start up, select "always start with protected mode disabled" (not possible in wine)
