Translate code from Mac to PC

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Ray,

The default app for PDF's is Reader. On Windows, you can't open a PDF in the default picture viewer. On Mac OS X, you can open PDF's in Preview. This is because Apple added some API's that allow QuickTime, QuickLook and other apps and services to render PDF's. Windows doesn't have such an OS-wide API for PDF's. If you don't want to use the default app Reader on Windows, you'll have to install Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader or another Windows compatible PDF reader.
