Mostly I want to use a copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro X to process large document sets. Flatten, OCR, produce TIFFs, Bate numbering, etc. Nothing that requires high FPS. I have Nitro Pro on my new computer, but it just doesn't do somethings as well, and some of the processes take a long time and slow down work so I want to run them on my other PC.
I also want to be able to access and move files between computers.
Is this something I can do with TightVNC? Can I completely close the connection from the outside world to reduce risk?

It sounds like TightVNC would probably work well for what you want to do. It's certainly not as "smooth" as having an actual KVM connected, but for "this and that" it's probably fine. If you were talking about using the software for hours on end, you might grow weary of it.
Might as well give it a shot. TightVNC is free and only takes a few minutes to install.
TightVNC will let you remotely control the other PC. You technically can copy/paste files between the two PCs, but that would be an asinine way to move files around.
The better way to do it would be to a) "share" the drive that houses the files (Google something like "Windows share Hard drive" and I am sure you will find tons of guides; it's simple) or b) store the the files in "the cloud" with something like Dropbox or Google drive. B is probably the better option since 1) the data is probably more secure on in a datacenter than your computer's hard drive and 2) you can access inside our outside your LAN.
