Thanks! I will try you script in one of my projects.

Only within an embedded browser, but it works.

How well does printing does the printing work on Windows and Mac?

I have only used the browser method for viewing a PDF in a Windows exe.  It
should print though, just as it would from a browser.

Charles,

Check out:

launch url

or…

launch [documentPath with] applicationPath

in the dictionary

example script…

on mouseUp
   put the effective fileName of this stack into tPdf
   set the itemDel to slash
   delete item -1 of tPdf
   put "/Support/Instructions.pdf" after tPdf
   launch tPdf with "/Applications/Preview.app"
end mouseUp

…works for me in a standalone if you add a folder ‘Support' containing the 
‘Instructions.pdf' in the ‘Copy Files’ pane of the ’Standalone Application 
Settings’. For this to work in the IDE, make sure the ‘Support’ folder is next 
to the Livecode stack.

Re: Launching a PDF file stored within a desktop app

you could start by embedding the pdf in your app in a custom property and
spit it out as required.

see this post with links to examples.
