Acrobat or Acrobat Reader?

I think he meant Acrobat Reader. I too, haven't heard anything about 
Acrobat. Anyway, 5.05 must be workable in Wine. Codeweaver's Crossover 
Office is known to work with Acrobat 5.x. I myself have been problems 
installing my 5.x on it (hangs up during install), but haven't been 
bothered since the 3.x works fine, and I've not used anything I need 5.x 
for yet... Hopefully someone will be able to help you. Otherwise, you 
might have to drop another bombshell for cxoffice.
