Thank you for your help everyone! I had to uninstall/install Adobe a few times and ran a registry scan and was finally able to open the files. Not sure what happened, just know that I can open the files now.
Thanks again.

Try to copy them to a different folder. See if you get a ‘file in use error’ which would indicate they may be locked in some way. The folder or file may be marked as open or in use by another user by the system.

When the system became unresponsive, were you using the PDF reader to access the problem files at the time?

Can you download and open any other PDFs? If you can, then it will be a locking problem stopping you accessing the other PDFs.
