You have to be root at the time you do the actual install because
writing to some parts of the directory tree only have root permissions.
So.. su to root in a terminal, navigate to the installation directory.
(which will most likely be the directory you downloaded the file to)
and execute the install file by typing './INSTALL' which I seem to
recall
is the setup script name for Adabe reader (Without the quotes)
