I shouldn't be saying this, but is there any specific reason you're using acroread? It hasn't been updated for over 2 years now -- even if you manage to fix it now, it'll definitely break again in future when all dependencies move forward. The open source PDF readers like evince, okular, pdf.js (firefox/chromium) are decent enough.
