This fix is easy, will do what you want and give you many more options:

When you open the print dialog box, the button on the left opens a pdf in Preview, the button on the right lists a drop-down menu with default choices like "Save as ...". You can easily add any application (or AppleScript etc.) to the drop-down menu.

1. Make an alias for Acrobat (single-click the app, command-L).
2. Put the alias in the folder Hard Drive > Library > PDF Services.
3. Rename the alias something like "Open pdf in Acrobat"
4. Print, click and hold the right button, select "Open pdf in Acrobat."

I keep aliases to Reader, Safari, etc in this path, as well as some AppleScripts to automatically attach the pdf to a new mail message and a few others. Really useful.
