Adobe Reader doesn't use gnome-vfs so it cannot read a file from a
network filesystem such as SMB or NFS without those resources being
mounted to a directory.

If KDE file manager can open the file, the problem should be something
else and not gnome-vfs, given that KDE uses kio stuff to access
network resources and Adobe Reader doesn't use them either.

I can load other file managers (e.g. Krudsader and Konqueror) in Gnome
and access the file in the manner that I would expect; namely that it
opens in Adobe Reader. So, the issue is with Nautilus.

Is the samba share mounted to a directory?

No, I'm not using smbmount in this case, but simply a desktop link to

smb://machine/location

I think I understand now what is happening: the KDE file managers download
the PDF file to a temporary directory and then launch Acrobat Reader on
the temporary file (because Acrobat Reader doesn't use kio); while Nautilus
refuses to open the PDF in Acrobat Reader (because Reader doesn't use
gnome-vfs).

I'll file this as a Nautilus bug.

I'm pretty sure it is already filed.
