Re: Launch pdf on cd

[Chipp Walters]

Thanks Jan for the altBrowser plug. But, as much as I'd like to sell 
another copy of altBrowser, there's a way to do this on MacOSX. Launch 
works well on PC, but for MacOS X you need to do a little extra work:

on viewPDF_MacOSX pPDFpath
  if "AppleScript" is not among the lines of the alternateLanguages then
    answer "AppleScript must be installed."
    exit to top
  end if
  put revMacFromUnixPath(pPDFpath) into pPDFpath
  --> THIS ASSUMES YOU'VE JUST DOWNLOADED A .PDF FILE
  --> AND THE CREATOR AND FILETYPE AREN'T PROPERLY SET
  put "tell application " &quote& "Finder" & quote & cr into tScript
  put "set the creator type of file " &quote& pPDFpath &quote& \
      " to " &quote& "CARO" &quote& cr after tScript
  put "set the file type of file " &quote& pPDFpath &quote& \
      " to " &quote& "PDF " &quote& cr after tScript
  put "end tell" after tScript
  do tScript as Applescript
  put the result into sError
  put "tell application " &quote& "Finder" & quote & cr into tScript
  put "open file " &quote& pPDFpath &quote & cr after tScript
  put "end tell" after tScript
  do tScript as Applescript
  put the result into sError
end viewPDF_MacOSX

Folks:
I've searched through the archives and haven't found
a
satisfactory answer. Here's what I'd like to do:
When a user clicks a link, I'd like the PDF viewer
(Acrobat or Preview) to launch and display a
specified
pdf located on the CD.
