Joel: I have a Libranet 2.8/2.8.1 KDE desktop icon with the following 
execute:
/usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/acroread
No script involved at all.
This opens Acrobat, and I then pick off the desired PDF to open from its 
menu.
I have another desktop icon to open the WP8 manual with the following 
execute:
/usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/acroread /usr/doc/corel/wp8/manual/wp8gui.pdf

Why not post your script? I suspect its purpose is to let you open a PDF 
that you enter as an argument.
