Maybe ps aux|grep acro and post that.
Are you displaying pdf file at the time you are seeing the message ?
This could be just with the firefox plugin as well ?
If you tail -f /var/log/messages  and start/stop acrobat, do the 
messages start / stop ?

If you use the fc6 Evince 0.6.0 to view a pdf does the message continue ?
It seems to be a bug in the upstream acroread itself, and if so it might 
be worth searching adobe's web site for faq/forums/bugzilla's, and 
posting your experiences there.
