Well no, acroread doesn't display dvi. If you mean files created by pdflatex, that works ok for me (though acroshite is the third of my choices for doing so). I vaguely remember that there was some sort of font issue at some stage, but I don't think your unconditional statement "acroread doesn't display pdf created by pdflatex" is true.
