A few days ago there was a short discussion here regarding how Protel associates file types with applications, specifically to allow automatically opening .PDF datasheets embedded within a design file. I speculated at that time that Protel only knows about file types which were added after Protel itself was installed, because some users reported that Protel understands pdf files and others reported that it doesn't.
I can now report that the order of installation of Protel and Acrobat does not seem to make a difference. I had to reinstall Protel after Acrobat was already installed, to fix an unrelated problem. Protel did not recognize pdf files. Then just yesterday I wasn't paying close enough attention during install of another package, and let it reinstall Acrobat. Protel still does not recognize pdf files, so it apparently doesn't matter which package is installed first. At this point I suspect that it has something to do with a registry entry, which I'll explore when I get time. Could anyone on this list explain how Protel accepts applications such as Word (and potentially Acrobat Reader) to work as servers?
