No, it is not related to Acrobat.

More precisely: it is

  CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X509");
  Collection col = cf.generateCertificates(new FileInputStream(certs[i]));

The second line throws the exception, but only on some
certificates/formats. Most of the times it works okay.
Tested with JDK 1.5.0_06, JDK 1.5.0_07 and JRE 6 Beta 2.

Maybe best is to catch the exception, and turn it into "Malformed
certificate (not CER/DER format)" or something alike.

Yes, I've not seen the error with BouncyCastle.
