I believe you get this error if you try to run a report with the pdf reader already open.
If this is the case, then just close the pdf reader and the report will run and then open the pdf reader and show you the results.

James is correct. Typically, that's what causes the error. When you try and run a report the second time, the error will occur when trying to open the file again.

Another reason is if the output directory isn't set properly. Check Help->Customize. Make sure the report output directory is one that you can open. If you set it to a directory you can't read, you'll get that error.
