Acrobat reader is a 32-bit program (because Adobe only compiles it that way). The libraries you have installed are 64-bit and cannot be used with Acrobat. You need to install the 32-bit libraries as well.
do you suggest installing xorg-x11-libs-*i386.rpm on that computer? What about xorg-x11-libs-*x86_64.rpm already installed there? Can they coexist?

for some reason I have a feeling that it will pull the entire xorg*i386 to my machine. Is this really the only method? I better stick with xpdf then.
Use yum to install it, do not just install an RPM. It will not put the entire xorg i386 on your computer. It will resolve the dependencies and get the 32-bit libs you need out of the x86_64 repositories. 32-bit libraries can be installed along side the 64-bit libraries. There is an option when installing to install 32-bit libraries as well. I have always used that, so I do not know the exact way to do it post install (ie, which packages you need). Try this and see if it works:
yum install xorg-x11-libs.i386
