This is still the case in Lucid. Google Chrome uses xdg-open, which in
turn relies on /etc/mailcap, which doesn't know about acroread.

Please include /usr/lib/mime/packages/acroread.

Workaround: create the file manually, it should read

application/pdf; /usr/bin/acroread '%s'; test=test "$DISPLAY" != "";
description=Portable Document Format; nametemplate=%s.pdf; priority=7

Then run sudo update-mime. You may also wish to also edit
/etc/mailcap.order
