OK, I've WinXP/OOo3.0/PDFextesion0.3.2 setup and working. I've opened a PDF both from OOo (File|Open) and from Windows Explorer (Open With) & that all seems to work fine. So... 1. I right click a PDF in Windows Explorer (WE) and select "Open With". I then select sdraw and tell WE to "Alwasy use the selected program to open this kind of file". The file opens & all works. I close OOo and go back to WE and double-click a PDF file; the file opens in sdraw. 2. I then right click a PDF file in WE and use "Open With|Choose Program" and select 'Adobe Acrobat 6.0' as the program to open the file & again select "Alwasy use the selected program to open this kind of file". File opens in Acrobat. I go back to WE and double-click a PDF file; it opens in Acrobat. 3. I repeat #1 using soffice instead of sdraw; works & opens the file in sdraw as expected. Double-clicking a PDF in WE now does the same. 4. Now if I right click a PDF in WE and select 'Open With' I get 4 choices: - Adobe Acrobat 6.0 - OpenOffice.org 3.0 - sdraw - Choose Program I reset the PDF's to auto open in Acrobat. I can install Adobe Reader 8 if you'd like, but I very much doubt that it will make any difference. Anything else yoiu'd like me to try? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
