After you right click on a pdf file, Instead of 'open with' click on

click on the add button then find acroread and click on that.
Acroread will probably be in either /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.


Been there, done that - it is on the list.

The reason it works for root may be that you installed adobe as root
and the installation process set the property, although that is only a
WAG on my part.

If that were the case, I don't think I'd be able to use AcroRead at
all. I check the entire AcroRead directory and all the perms are 755
or 644.... It works, just not properly from nautilus (works from my
browsers, command line gnome-open, direct open, etc.).
