It's a packaging bug, of sorts, to do with the location of the
basename binary.  Quickest workaround is to uninstall the two
packages, perform the upgrade, then re-install the two packages again.
Alternatively, you could switch to OpenJDK and an alternative PDF
reader of your choice, but that depends on your usage case.

Before upgrading uninstall Adobe Reader.

Once you've upgraded to F29, then

First:
dnf install libidn1.34-1.34-1.fc29.i686

Then,
rpm -ivh --force AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm

But YMMV & fyi,
