I don't know if the problem is due to moving PDF files when they're open or not. But if that's the problem, then I suggest you create the PDF files with a bogus extension (such as .WORK). After the file is successfully completed and closed, you can then rename it from XYZ.WORK to XYZ.PDF. This will prevent your program from detecting and working with PDF files before they're ready to go. (I use the same trick for file generators to prevent an FTP process from sending the file before it's complete.)

As I said, I don't know if that's your problem, though.
