Opening a pdf regardles of the Adobe version

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I do this to open a PDF document.

(dos_execute (strcat "\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader
9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\" \"" fnm "\"") 0)

But not everyone has the same version of Acrobat installed.

Does anyone know to make this work regardless of wich version of AutoDesk is
installed?

Kind regards,

M

i guess it could be done
you have to read out the open command of registry (regedit) and open
acrobat reader with it

Hi,

(vl-registry-read "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\Acrobat.exe" "")

(vl-registry-read "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\App Paths\\AcroRd32.exe" "")
