[platypus-dev] Re: Adobe Reader

Dear Colleagues,

The man page was not completely helpful. However, the Adobe site:

http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/52504.htm

provided the syntax.

** The correct syntax using sh is:

open -a '/Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader 7.0.app' working- ems.pdf

which opens the file working-ems.pdf

** The correct syntax using Perl is:

system("open -a '/Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader 7.0.app' working-ems.pdf")

which opens the file working-ems.pdf

Thanks for your help.
