I'm assuming you're using Konqueror. If so, you might want to check under
"Settings" -> "Configure Konqueror" -> "File Associations". Perhaps acrobat 
got associated with "all" files or something screwy like that. You should be 
able to fix the problem there.

Caveat: I'm running SuSE 7.3 on a PPC, which is different from what you have, 
so the above option may be in a slightly different location.

Good luck,
