Could it be looking at /usr/bin/uname?  I have seen various installation
scripts that use uname, and the easiest way to fool them is to put your
own uname in /emul/xxx/usr/bin.  Hopefully Acrobat is as easy.

But you probably should ktrace(1) acroread and see exactly how it is
deciding that you aren't running SunOS.
