Does Adobe Reader upgrade (from X1 to DC) requires a server reboot? can we upgrade the new version without a server reboot. we have Adobe 11 installed on server 2008 R2.

It depends on how you are installing.  There a couple of switches available.

For the Setup.exe method you can use two that I am aware.

Bootstrapper Deployment — Enterprise Administration Guide

/rsReboot Suppress. Setup.exe will not initiate reboot even if it is required.
/rpsReboot Prompt Suppress. If reboot is required, the system restarts without warning.

For msiexec.exe then you have a Property that is available.

Windows cmd line and msiexec — Enterprise Administration Guide

REBOOTForce or suppress rebooting.
