How can I open a PDF document from a executable file??
A friend has told me to use this:
-------------------------------------------------
fscommand ("exec", "anexo01.bat")
-------------------------------------------------
but it opens a black pop up window before opening the program..... and it
don´t seems to be a good solution.....
can someone help me on this?

thanks!!
Sofia

You can't avoid the echo box, unfortunate but that's the compromise if you go with
the BAT file method.

For many years I have been using Flash Jester tool call JStart. Works like charm
all the way, no extra pop up windows :)

JStart will allow you to not only launch a program, but use parameters to make the
program open files, perform special actions and just about anything you can use
parameters for. You can also choose to launch files with their default associated
program.

Another solution is provided by by Rick Turoczy, it's pretty old but should still
work. Perhaps give it a try.

Easy to use tool that allow you to launch basically anything from the projector.
As long as there is system default application supporting particle file.
