I've been able to convert Pentax DNG files from my K10D & K20D via PS CS2
with no issues.
CS2 will not process DNG files from my K3D - when I try I get "could not
complete request because it is not right kind of file".
Using the Adobe DNG convertor ver 8.3 I can convert to a DNG recognized by
CS2 and also get a smaller file size (22.6 vs 29.8)
Makes me think the K3D must be producing a special flavor of DNG different
from the K10 & 20D.
I can only assume the DNG files from the KS must be of a similar flavor as
those from the K10/20D.
IIRC, with CS2, the RAE convertor was not upgradeable, but CS3 and newer
was.

Not having a K-3 I could be wrong in this but I don't think K-3 DNGs can
be opened in older versions of Photoshop. Running them through the DNG

larger, though.
Sorry, Brian, you are wrong. Pentax DNG files can be opened by any
version of Photoshop that has a raw converter. For fun, I fired up my 11
year old laptop a while back to test this out. It has Photoshop 7 on it
(pre CS), which was the first version to have a raw converter available.
The poor thing gagged on the size of the KS files, but eventually opened
them. It took a very long time.
This is the laptop I purchased when I bought the istD because it was
cheaper to buy it than the 4 1gb cards I thought I would need (at that
time a 1gb card was about $400.00).
Well, that's odd because Ken reported that his CS2 wouldn't open his K-3
files.
To check further, I downloaded a sample K-3 DNG to test it out on my CS3.
It opened fine.
Hmmm....
