I've found that whenever saving a .PDF directly from the Adobe Reader within IE NTFS permissions are not inherited correctly for the saved .PDF.
When saving to a shared location on the drive the file will retain NTFS permissions from the user profile it was created on and not inherit normally from it's new location.
For example if my user profile (C:\Users\Me) is accessible by [Me] and [System] and I save a .PDF out of Adobe Reader within IE to a public folder on that drive (C:\Shared Data) it will not inherit the permissions from the public folder. When this happens the file is only accessible to the user who originally created it which negates the usefulness of having public folders.
This is running Adobe Reader DC from Creative Cloud
I've tested this running Adobe Reader (Free) on an alternate PC and haven't had the same issues.
