This has happened to me on several different projects. In the past, I've
done two things to fix the problem. One I put Acrobat reader in a folder on
my CD in the same folder as your projector. This way I don't have to worry
if the machine has it or where its located. Then I've found that inverting
the open command parameters solves the problem. (Good old Lingo syntax at it
again).
So make the call:
open the pathname "acrobat 4.0\acrobat\Acrobat.exe "&the pathname
"your_pdf_folder\test.pdf"
Good luck,
JRS
