It looks like a path issue. In the first case, you're not giving the path to the pdf. In the second example, you're duplicating--"the moviePath" and "@" give you the same thing, so you're putting it in twice. Try open "@:reader:lccc_app.pdf" with "@:reader:Acrobat Reader 5.0". (Untested--I'm on Windows). This would also work, probably: open the moviePath&"reader:lccc_app.pdf" with the moviePath&"reader:Acrobat Reader 5.0" If that doesn't work, go to the message window (cmd-m) and type: put the moviePath put the moviePath&"reader:lccc_app.pdf" to see if it gives you the right path. You can do the same with @, I think.
