There's an another solution.

If you have installed acroread-7.0.0*.rpm from SUSE site already, try 
those steps below.

1) Download 2 jpnfont packages from Adobe site.

$ mkdir /tmp/{4,5}
$ cd /tmp/5
$ wget \
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/5.x/jpnfont.tar.gz
$ cd /tmp/4
$ wget \
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/4.x/jpnfont.tar.gz

2) Unpack jpnfont packages and install necessary files manually.

$ cd /tmp/5
$ tar xzf jpnfont.tar.gz
$ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat7/Resource/CMap
$ su
# tar xf /tmp/5/JPNKIT/LANGCOM.TAR
# cd /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat7.0/Resource/Font
# tar xf /tmp/5/JPNKIT/LANGJPN.TAR

--Now you can display Japanese font in PDF files by AdobeReader. But you 
cannot display gothic font yet. So, let's continue.

$ cd /tmp/4
$ tar zxf jpnfont.tar.gz
$ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat7.0/Resource/Font
$ su
# tar xf /tmp/4/JPNKIT/LANGJPN.TAR

That's all. Have fan! :-)
