There is a bug in acrobat reader that causes it to exit when launching 
with some language settings

for example if I run acroread binary on my box which has

LANG=en_AU.UTF-8

acroread exits with the following.

Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
Aborted

however if I run acroread with

LANG=en_AU ; acroread

it works fine. Perhaps the script that is being called is doing some 
sanitisation? You may need to edit it to make sure whatever kde is 
passing to it gets passed onto the acroread binary.
