Chances are the correct 8.3 filename you're looking for is Acroba~2, but
why are you using the old 8.3 filenames?
If you're just worried about spaces, try putting quotes in the command
you're sending to the system, like this:
system("\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Acrobat 7.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\"
C:\\PDFs\\test.pdf");

I can get to the 'Adobe' folder with the commands ( from the command
prompt ):
c:
cd c:\Progra~1\Adobe
However I can't get into the 'Acrobat 7.0' folder in the same way, ie:
c:
cd c:\Progra~1\Adobe\Acroba~1

My code was going to be:
system("C:\\Progra~1\\Adobe\\Acroba~1\\Reader\\AcroRd32
C:\\PDFs\\test.pdf");
