Hi Genevieve,

Director needs to know the full path to the Acrobat Reader executable.  This
may be different on different machines.  There are xtras such as BuddyAPI
and MasterApp which can interrogate the system to find where the executable
program associated with a particular file type is situated.

You can find a behavior which uses MasterApp which you may be able to use in
your case at:

This behavior does not run in a browser.  For security reasons, browsers
will not let a movie have access to the user's system.  If they did, hackers
could write programs which could destroy your data if you inadvertently
opened a malignant URL in your browser.

Cheers,

James
