Opening a PFD - What am I doing wrong??

[Andre Garzia]

Dan,

I don't have windows, but try something along this:

on OpenPDF theFilePath
  get shell(format("start %s", theFilePath))
end OpenPDF

don't know if the line is this, but I think you can start a file using
the start command in the shell()
