i'm working on a director 8 cd where several pdf files are available to "open". (except not on my ccd.) my coding (lingo) sez (1 instance): "on mouseUp open "reg.pdf" with "Acrobat Reader" end " and acrobat reader does open but not any of the individual pdf files. the files are in the same folder as the program. i've tried putting in the version number (5.0). when i do that, even acrobat fails to open. i've put in the trademark symbol after acrobat but no. these are old files (from acrobat 3.01). but in the info window, they are now described as acrobat 5.0 files so it's obvious i've pointed the files to the program. but when reader opens it doesn't open w/ the 5.0 version in the same folder, but w/ my old 4.0. what if i get rid of the old so there's only 1 choice? how can i get director to open these teeny pdf's? it's important for my job! i almost don't care which verson of acrbt readr opens these files, just so long as they open does anyone on the planet use director & acrobat together?
