To summarize you paragraphs:

     On the systems where Adobe says it can't open it because the file is
     in use by another program, filePro is also unable to open it.

     On the systems where Adobe can open it, but complains that the file
     is "corrupt" (because it's not yet a valid PDF), filePro is also
     able to open it.

You haven't given any details on these systems.

Would you expect otherwise?  If the file is opened, filePro says it was 
opened.  If the file failed to open, filePro tells you it failed.  Note, 
too, that filePro will returned the error number in such circumstances.
