Jim,
This is what worked for me in KDE on FC3. Note that my KDE install is
in Hebrew, so I am translating the names of menus and things.

In the hat menu->Control Center->KDE Parts->File Ownership:
Enter 'pdf' in the search box. Left Click the pdf icon and when you
get a menu, move Acrobat all the way up.

If that doesn't work, then Right Click a pdf->Open With->Other:
Enter 'acroread' and click 'Save Ownership for this File Type' (or
something like that). Then click OK.

Have fun.
