:D Reading some of the other posts gave me the idea of deleting ~/.wine directory and starting over fresh, based on running a newer version of wine. The installation of Acrobat 4.0 and the upgrade to Acrobat 6.0 worked, although it wasn't very pretty. I found that when you're asked whether or not to remove "unwanted" .dll files from the previous installation, it's best to answer "no." Removing .dll files tends to break other applications.
