Though I don't know the exact app name, try this:

1. there was a thread on starting acrobat through ole (the poster used
the same ID)  maybe you can tyr his code - search for acrobat in the
archives

2. look for a thread named 'Ruby and COM' - somebody explains how to
find out what is the exact app name
