I know it's been a while but I've had this happen as well.  I've attributed it to having an earlier version of Acrobat Reader than the download was designed to support.  In my context I have a full version of Adobe Acrobat 5.0 which is compatible with the Acrobat Reader 7.0.  7.0 will open up those things which I can't get open with the full version.  As a work around, I've started using pdfill (www.pdfill.com -- it's free)  to convert the pdf files to something I can use with the full Acrobat.  For instance, I can highlight an area in the full version, the program will convert it to a note, and  can cut and paste the note into a document.
