 In a terminal type 
locale
if it says us_EN.UTF8 or whatever your local LANG is like gb_EN.UTF8
type
LANG=en_US && export LANG
/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread /home/jose/TSG03.pdf

You could put this in a script

#!/bin/bash
LANG=en_US && export LANG
/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread $@

or make the change permanent by making the the file
/etc/sysconfig/i18n
not use UTF8 
BTW using UTF8 can really slow your system down, there was
an article on Slashdot about the use of UTF8 and speed performance.
If you need UTF8 then the bash script should handle the problem.
