in other words, follow the signs on:
http://access.adobe.com
that point to the accessible acrobat reader.

You may still have trouble using acrobat reader in the way you describe
as there are conflicts between jaws navigation keys for ie and those of
acrobat reader so I suggest you right click the link and choose save
arget as and open it in acrobat reader directly for best results.

Alan,
The pop-up message makes it sound as if you have downloaded the minimal
Reader instead of the Adobe Acrobat Reader with Accessibility. (The
MakeAccessible plug-in is for authors who are trying to improve the
accessibility of their PDF files, and it doesn't help Adobe Acrobat
Reader 5.1
accessibility.)

Try downloading the version at
