    Temporary fix, only works for the current shell:

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin

    To make it apply to all shells you:

    Add that line to ~/.bash_profile and/or ~/.bashrc (you don't need to add it to both if .bashrc calls .bash_profile or vice-versa; only add it to the one that gets called).

    Log out and back in, and see if it works.
