To get the full path to the default .PDF handling application, read the
relevant Registry key, like this :-

TRegistry *mjtreg=new TRegistry();
mjtreg->RootKey=HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT;
if
(mjtreg->OpenKeyReadOnly("AcroExch.Document\\protocol\\StdFileEditing\\server"
))
  ShowMessage("Acrobat is "+mjtreg->ReadString(""));
else ShowMessage("You have not installed Acrobat Reader.");
delete mjtreg;
