I got this working on my end. At first I got an "Access Denied" error in reader, but just had to right click on pdf file in explorer, then unblock the file. You shouldn't have that problem, just try this:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Diagnostics;
 
 public class AcroTest : MonoBehaviour 
 {
     ProcessStartInfo process;
     
     void Start () 
     {
         process = new ProcessStartInfo("AcroRd32.exe", Application.dataPath+"/Resources/Test.pdf");
         Process.Start(process);
     }
 }

I hope it's for standalone. Maybe look at this or this.

Maybe you need to use the absolute path.
