I have a problem opening PDF files. The PDF files were created from Word using Acrobat V5.0, and are saved into the Shared Files directory on my PC. The PC is running WinXP-Home-SP2, and the Shared Files directory is shared to the whole network.

When I try to open these files on another PC (WinXP-Pro-SP2) using Adobe Reader (V8.0), it gives an "access denied" error. It is also not possible to copy the PDF files from the Shared Directory to the hard drive of the second PC using Windows Explorer on the second PC. This only happens with PDF files, all other files can be opened, and copied, without any problem at all. Other files can be modifed and pasted as well, so user rights to the directory can't be a problem.

If I copy the PDF files using the first PC to the SharedFiles directory of the second PC, then they open fine. Also, if I e-mail these files to somebody else, then they open fine.

The files are protected using Adobe Standard Security, but this shouldn't stop anybody opening them.
