There is a very simple answer to this. Apple has a lot of limmitations on what kind of applications you can develop (several applications have been turned down by apple) and one of the limitations is that users of their applications cannot create and store local files (other than configuration files). In other words you can't store pdf files on your iPhone which basicly means that you can only browse online pdf files, and the safari web browser already does an excellent job of that. So basicly, due to the limitations sett by Apple, Adobe reader on an iPhone wouldn't be allowed. Opera has already had their application turned down, and Adobe is said to have a version of Flash working on iPhone but it breaks several of the rules and therefore can't be released.
