 presently, I have received this error on 32 and 64 bit machines. It doesn't appear to be just the arch issue. Perhaps we can "statically link" the required files to the application?

RELATED and PERHAPS helpful for other readers:

I would love to have a means to address this... I frequently have to use Acrobat for digital form signing... as well as it is the ONLY program that handles the XFA format that is embedded in many PDF forms. There is NO program for Linux that I am aware of that provides this support. Even worse, as time goes on, Adobe has taken the XFA standard from the AcroReader 9 version (3.0) to at least 3.3, so no AcroReader doesn't reliably open every PDF document out there.

For reference, if you are needing to sign documents that are not XFA enabled, the non-free *** PDF Studio *** presently provides support for PKCS#11 smartcard certificate signatures. A little intense to setup initially (read their site for instructions), but once set up, it works well (BTW, you can use the coolkey pkcs11 library instead of the other pkcs11 library their instructions reference).

In dialog with Master PDF Editor, they indicated they will add support for XFA and digital signatures in a future release... but no time was provided for this enhancement...

Wine is not an option. Had partial success (read fail) by getting Wine Adobe 11 to see my smartcard, import certificates, but no further. Tried Adobe 11 until blue in face, and it would always crash when clicking on "sign".

The best solution (an distasteful) is to use dual boot OR run a virtual machine with Windows in it...
