hi i am trying to open acrobat reader with a document by specifiying it in the command line, such as

acrord32 <http://www.domain.com/file.pdf>.... however this does not seem to work??

Acrobat says "There was an error opening this document. The filename, directory name, or volume syntax is incorrect."

however if i try

acrord32 c:\file.pdf... this works fine.

Does anyone know how to open a web pdf through the command line?
Regards.
