    try { 
    p = new ActiveXObject('AcroExch.Document'); 
    } 
    catch (e) { 


    // active x object could not be created 
    document.write('<img src="imagenes/iconos_VX_s2.png" width="26" height="20">');
    compatibleadobeacrobat=false; 
    document.write("<br>compatible: "+compatibleadobeacrobat);
    }

    compatibleadobeacrobat=true;

How about using navigator's property plugins to get plugins array and after finding Adobe Reader, recieve version from it's version property?

I don't know how Adobe Reader add-on is called, so this code is untested but it should work.

var pl = navigator.plugins;

if(pl)
{
  var where = 0;
  for(var i=0;i<pl.length;i++)
  {
    var name = pl[i].name;
    if(name.search('Adobe PDF Reader')!=-1)
    {
      where = i;
    }
    if(where)
      break;
  } 
  var ver = pl[where].version;
}
