Oh, the full Acrobat not just the Acrobat Reader, interesting.

I'm having the exact same problem--from a Word hyperlink Acrobat opens

I had precisely the same problem. Here's what I discovered. I
originally only had Acrobat Reader 6.0 loaded on my computer and my
Excel hyperlinks to pdf files worked fine.

I later installed Acrobat Standard 7.0, and suddenly the link did not
work. When I clicked on the link to a pdf file, I could see Acrobat
start to launch and then disappear. No Go!

SOLUTION: I reinstalled Acrobat Reader 6.0 using the "repair"
selection and Voila! the hyperlinks now work fine again. There must
have been something in the Acrobat Standard 7.0 installation that broke
a critical registry entry.
