i guess you can't! unless you hack the client's machine 
why don't you show him a notification saying "if you don't have adobe acrobat reader version x.xx, click here to download it!"
good luck ....:::::.... xxLargeWASP ....:::::....

but in some of the sites we get some messges like flsh is not installed to view this file u download the flsh..some thing like this is this possible for acrobat software if its not installed on clinet machine we can provide him messege and ask him to download it...?
If you are talking about using JavaScript in an Acrobat PDF form to find out which version of Acrobat the user has this would be how:
if (typeof(app.viewerType) != "undefined"
{
app.alert(app.viewerType);
app.alert(app.viewerVersion);
}
Good Luck!

Here is a link to a page that I made. It will show if acrobat is installed and what version. You should be able to tell them to dl the new version or give them the choice to dl the new version with a little more scripting.
Good luck
