 No, I don't think it's this: rather there must be an error in DDE
communications between Mahogany and Acrobat. Could you please:

1. run regedit
2. look under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf
3. follow to the string in the (unnamed) value of this key, i.e. here
   it is AcroExch.Document
4. describe what do you have under HKCR\AcroExch.Document\shell\open

 Thanks!

 No, you didn't but I simply didn't know what to say about it as I don't
have Acrobat 5. With the additional information it's clear that the problem
is related to the DDE so I might at least be able to formulate some
hypotheses.
