I am trying to open PDF files from Director. I need to place the PDF's in a
sub-folder, somewhere beneath the main projector file. I am having some
problems, even using BuddyAPI. Essentially, the following script (not mine)
works:

        set whereami = baShortFileName(the moviePath)
        runme = whereami &"acrobat\reader\acrord32.exe "& " /s " & whereami
& "documents\RBO_40.pdf"
        set OK = baRunProgram(runme, "Maximised", true )

Acrobat starts up and opens the PDF file correctly. However, if the user
closes the PDF file but NOT Acrobat, the Director Projector seems to stop
responding completely, although a check of the Windows 2000 Task Manager
shows that it is still running. There is no indication from the OS that the
Projector has ceased to function.

If the user quits out of Acrobat completely, then the Director Projector
starts responding again.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Joseph.
