Hey MacRumorers!

I've got a couple questions. Hope something sticks out for someone.

I set up a Mac Mini as a file server for our small office. Before we were using a windows machine and it was a nightmare.

So the new set up is basically a Mac Mini with a folder shared (and backed up by Carbonite).

Users in the office are having problems with both connectivity and PDFs in particular.

The PDF thing is super strange. People opening up PDF's on the server are having crashes and other odd problems when working with PDF's. This is both on Mac's and PC's? Any ideas what this could be?

The second thing is connectivity. Seems that people don't stay connected to the share very well and it disconnects and occasionally just disapears for short periods?

Thanks so much! I'm a bit techie but new to macs in general.
