Like Liam wrote, you should make the file runnable. That would be the 
command

chmod +x AdbeRdr9.4.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin

If the version from the repo doesn't work, it is unlikely that the 
version downloaded from Adobe will work. After all it is the same 
version. Then it is probably a feature of that portfolio of files which 
requires Windows for some reason.
