Just to confirm what is going on, you should d/l the pdf and see if Acrobat 
works properly on a local file. You can open it with GostView, but I don't 
know about5 a pluggin that way.

Anyway, my point is that depending on your RH version (should always state 
that in post) there may be a locale setting issue effecting Acrobat, which 
you only see when opening into the app, not as a pluggin.
If you get an error like:
"Warning : charset "UTF-8" not supported,using "ISO8859-1"
then search this list (I use 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=redhat-list&r=1&w=2 ) for "acrobat reader". 
It has been covered previously in this list.
