It's nothing to do with Acrobat. Looks like parts haven't been created for those instruments. You can create them from Manage Parts.

Thank you, motet, but how?

maybe :
Score manager/ Instruments list/ Add instrument
and then substituting these added ones in the place of the existing ones?

It is as motet says.

Not the ScoreManager, but:

Document menu > Manage Parts…

To expand the dialog box Manage Parts, click the button “Edit Part Definition >>”.

Actually, I think in this case you want "New Part." Then you will be presented with a dialog to add your instrument to the part and give it a name. Alternatively, you can click "Generate Parts" and it will wipe the slate clean and make a part for everything (your score won't be changed). It would trash any part formatting you've already done, though, but it doesn't look like you've done much. Either way will work.
