I remember having problems with the script while launching the application directly did work.

Also make sure you [man=1]brandelf[/man] the executable as Linux.
I didn't really expect the Qt4 updates to help acrobat for the reason you stated, but I was happy to see it at least solved the problem with Okular (and every other pdf reader I tried for that matter) not being able to keep a pdf open for more than 10 seconds.

And now that I have Okular working again I'm a lot less concerned about acrobat

I can't for the life of me explain why they both stopped working simultaneously, though.
