> I would like to know how to open a PDF document from a python script
You mean open it and display it to the user? Under Windows you may be
able to get away with just "executing" the file (as though it were an
executable):
import os
os.system("c:/path/to/file.pdf")
Under Linux you can probably use xpdf or gpdf:
os.system("xpdf /path/to/file.pdf")
Note that you should check the return code of "system" to see if the
execution was successful. For example, the user might not have xpdf
installed.
