[platypus-dev] Re: Adobe Reader

You might want to put the application name within parenthesis.  Also, you
could try specifying the application bundle identifier -- this is allowed
according to the man page.  Here are some examples from the man page:

EXAMPLES
     "open '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/foo.txt'" opens the document in the default
     application for its type (as determined by LaunchServices).

     "open -a /Applications/TextEdit.app '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/foo.txt'"
     opens the document in the application specified (in this case,
TextEdit).

     "open -b com.apple.TextEdit '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/foo.txt'" opens the
     document in the application specified (in this case, TextEdit).
