1. Open with Adobe Reader is not in the list.
2. Using Open with Other Application and selecting Adobe Reader, Adobe=20
Reader opens, but the document is not loaded.

For the very same reason: Adobe Reader cannot access Samba shares,
because it doesn't use GNOME-VFS.

Back to KDE again!

How will that solve your problem?

Because it honours the application assigned to the pdf file association.
More simply, it does what one would expect.

I'm not clear what you mean by: "Adobe Reader cannot access Samba
shares", since the problem does not occur in KDE. Adobe Reader shouldn't
have to use a specific protocol; that's what the intervening layers
between the file and app are for.
