I don't use acroread on FreeBSD since a long time ago (switched to
evince and later to epdfview). I remember, however, that I once had to
create a symlink from /usr/bin/lpr to /usr/linux/usr/bin/lpr otherwise
acroread failed to find the lpr executable.

make an omelette without breaking eggs". Not because I like the
omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.
