These "droplets" are applications, so you can use the Finder's "open <alias
of PDF> using <alias of droplet>".

You can also open them in a script editor and you'll see handlers that show
how to script Acrobat to use them directly -- they actually work by running
Acrobat scripts; the key is to know the path to the droplet.
