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: >> http://perso.planetb.fr/newton/masterapp.htm 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.
