Re: Acrobat as a helper/plugin
I had also problems with acroread (the rendered image looked
scrambled), but never investigated it futher. But a quick look in
the bug tracking system (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/) gave me a
bug report with a workaround added that might help:

Tell us if it doesn't work.
