You ask the user, politely, like so: 

"Acrobat Reader (version if required) is required to read these documents.  If you do not have Acrobat Reader, or need to upgrade your current Reader, go to http://www.Adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html <http://www.Adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html>."   

You can also use the Get Acrobat Reader icon that Adobe furnishes free-fer-nuthin on your web page.  It is available from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/distribute.html?logos <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/distribute.html?logos> 

Do NOT go poking around in other people's computers to see if they have certain software installed.  They do not like it!
