Are you sure the crash comes from Acrobat Reader? You can launch Acrobat

could be just X, not the whole system. Can you login via ssh when the

Look at Xorg log (/var/log/xorg.0.log).

Acrobat Reader is not in the list of my favorite programs. I prefer
Evince or Okular in a 1000:1 ratio: they are faster, lighter and safer
