Have they fixed the long-standing bug in Acrobat where it doesn't
comply with Adobe's standards for PDF?  Ghostscript and pdflatex both
produce files certified legal by Adobe that many versions of Acrobat
just can't handle.

The problem construct typically occurs in the prologue, so Acrobat
just drops the whole document on the floor.
