Always keep in mind that slocate does not search your filesystem for files. Instead, it searches a database it creates and updates on some schedule. If you just installed acrobat, you can't expect it to be in the slocate database. Try either find / keyword, or update the slocate database. You might have a script called updatedb, otherwise you might need to either look up in the man pages the correct flags to use with slocate to update the database, or read through your crontabs to find out what the system is actually using to update it. slocate is great, but it usually updates itself only once per day or less often. A "find / keyword" will usually only take a minute on a normal home system.
