Not exactly an answer to your question, but fedora comes with a number 
of PDF viewers anyway, so you shouldn't need to install Acrobat. If they 
work for you, the fedora viewers shall be a better idea, as they are 
maintained by fedora and you can take advantage of yum, etc.

If I had to guess what the problem was, I would say that probably you 
are supposed to scroll down to the end of the license agreement to see 
an OK button. Just a guess tho.
