It's certainly possible to look up the location of the Acrobat Reader in the registry (by looking for the handler for .pdf files) and launch the program by name, but why would you want to? >Furthermore, using a script is it possible >to run two Adobe Reader sessions simulatneously. > > Yes and no. The Acrobat Reader is an MDI program. That means it handles multiple documents, but it does so by using a single Acrobat process, and a single "master" window. Now, you can certainly have multiple PDF documents open at once. By default, Acrobat runs with its client (document) windows maximized, so you can only see one at a time. If you un-maximize the client window, or if choose Window -> Cascade, you can see there are multiple documents inside. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
