2) When a pdf already exists in the temp directory, which is already

"Cannot convert file. Error while executing dvipdfm ...".

I don't think that there's anythng we can do about this. You could try
submitting a bug report to Adobe asking them not to be so rude as to
keep the HANDLE on the file open...
I do not expect Adobe to do that (do you?) :-)
What I was, indeed, trying to propose is to present a more helpful error
message to the end-user. Something that could indicate him/her what to
do to solve the problem.
I guess it would not be difficult to check first if the file already
exists and set a flag to true. Then try to overwrite and if an error
arises, and the flag was set to true, report to the end-user that the
file may already be opened with Acrobat, and that he/she may try to
close it and call again View->PDF
