Sorry for not responding to the thread, but I deleted it before i found out
how to fix this problem. I quickly searched the mailing list archives and
didn't see anything, but I'm not sure if anyone has found a fix for this
problem. So, I though I'd post it.
Here's what I did to fix it:
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://remi.collet.free.fr/files/acroread.patch
$ cd /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/ (This may vary)
$ patch -b </tmp/acroread.patch
