That's a big Problem of Acrobat Reader 5.0x, to make things
a little better do a "export LANG=en_EN" before starting it
at the Konsole. This assures that Number Formatting works
as expected. But it doesn't cure the problem with the latin2
characters.

BTW It's also impossible to use German Umlauts and to use
the numeric Keypad to enter Numbers.
