Why not just use the Windows version and invoke it from cygwin (if cygwin is the environment from which you want to do that)? It is easy to invoke Windows programs from cygwin; you just need to remember to format any arguments in the form the Windows program wants. To that end, cygpath is a useful utility, e.g.:
function acrobat () { command acrobat $(cygpath -wa ${1}) } in your .bashrc file allows you to invoke Windows acrobat with a path rewritten from cygwin format to Windows format. This can be improved to check for presence of the argument ${1}, etc., but perhaps you get the idea.
