*Look* at the file. Odds are its a shell script, possibly ending with a
bin encoded file that it will pull apart automatically if you feed it to
/bin/sh. If the beginning of the file looks like a shell script, then
feed it to bash:
bash < file.bin
or
sh < file.bin
Personally, I configured the Adobe repository and install the reader
through that....
adobe-release-i386.1.0-1.noarch.rpm
It will effectively put the following (minus the "> "'s) in:
/etc/yum.repo.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo

Then you can just install using yum.
