Leston -
You should be able to use the "open file" command for Windows or Mac.
Check out the Transcript Dictionary under Help.
Not sure about Windows, but in MacOSX, the default app for PDFs is
"Preview". If you want the PDF to open with Acrobat instead, I'm not sure
if Revolution can force that (others chime in please). Two possibilities
are to set the default app for the client to be "Acrobat" for ALL PDFs. Or
you can build an AppleScript in your Rev code like this:
-- --Tested in a button and this worked-----
on mouseup
answer file "Choose file..."
put revMacFromUnixPath(it) into tMacFile
put "tell application " && quote & "Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional" & quote
& cr & \
"open" && quote & tMacFile & quote & cr & \
"end tell" into tAppleScriptText
do tAppleScriptText as AppleScript
end mouseup
-- -------
You'll have to feed it an appropriate AppleScript path where I have
"answer file 'Choose file...'" and the respective "it". Also, if your
users just have Acrobat Reader, you'll need to designate that in the "tell
application" part, instead of the full version.
Hope this helps...James
