Dean, I also run an uptodate FC5 with selinux disabled.  I am running
mozilla 1.7.13-1.1.fc5 and AdobeReader_enu 7.05.-1 from Adobe itself.
I have no trouble opening PDF files from within mozilla.  Sorry that I
know nothing of the Dries repository.  You might examine your
/var/log/messages file for any helpful error messages.  You might try
Xpdf on the same PDF files that give you trouble in Adobe Reader.  You
might replace your Adobe Reader with the one at adobe.com.  Hope some
of this is helpful to you.
