Viewing PDF Files

[Mark Luetzelschwab]

Since I have not been receiving messages either, I've missed the 
discussion on the launching..so I apologize if this is a duplicate of 
something already said.
Its been my experience that the launch command is problematic and 
have found that using shell() and applescript are more reliable, 
especially when you open multiple documents in succession. It also 
takes away the problem of locating the application - you can let the 
OS deal with that.

Check out the script on Chipp's useful script site:

look for the Acrobat launching info.
