I think Pranav is right. baOpenFile(fileName, openMode) funciton is a better
choice, because the user may have another application for viewing PDF files
(like GhostViewer or something) and in that case he/she will have an error
message, though an appropriate application is installed. Also, if the
application is installed not quite correct, it is possible that the file
extension is not associated with it. Using baFileOpen() will allow to
associate the file/application manually, by opening the standard Windows
dialog box.
