You can download it here: The Acrobat X SDK

Once you have unzip file, you will find a bunch of folders. You want to drill down to this folder:

\Acrobat 10 SDK\Version 1\InterAppCommunicationSupport\Headers
And look for the acrobat.tlb file there. 
Add it to your references in the VB Editor by using Browse.
Once added, it will show up as Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Type Library - Which seems odd, since it's in a zip file named Acrobat 10 SDK, but that seems to do it.
                Scott, you probably have your system set up to not display hidden files. That is the default Windows setting. You can change that if you want to be able to see ALL files in File Explorer.

                @smartini - When you open that page, do you see the "Next" button in the top right corner? Click that.

I had the Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library in one of my Excel sheets but could not locate it in any other Workbook so I saved the one it was in as a different book and copied all my data to the new book. The Adobe 10.0 Type Library worked just fine then.
So you might see if you have the Library in another book.
