This is just a guess, but you may want to see if the acrobat reader will respond to various launch codes aside from the normal launch. I think at one point you said you had seen an application that used Acrobat reader for its help manuals. I'd guess that the app sends some special launch code to Acrobat reader . . . I'd try sending all PalmOS launch codes to Acrobat reader to see if I could get it to open in a "subcalled" mode (like the Prefs panels can be called from other apps, so the panel has a "Done" button). If that didn't work, I'd write a hack that patched SysAppLaunch and try to divine how the Acrobat reader was being launched.
Just my two thoughts on this.
