Cannot copy pdf file from ext HD to desktop?

Can anyone figure out this buggeration, please?
I'm trying (in vain) to remove all files I want to keep from an external HD and save them on my desktop prior to performing a full format of the external HD. However some files are refusing to copy to my desktop, I have one particular file as an example, a large pdf file (640,000kb) which if I copy and paste, drag and drop etc always starts to copy fine but then hangs at 77%.
As far as I can tell it isn't corrupted as it opens perfectly in Acrobat Pro 7 and even if I try and save to the desktop from there it still hangs every time! It's starting to become slightly irritating...
Any ideas?
