First of all, the Acrobat reader is probably not in your path, so you'll
need to fix that or supply the fully qualified filename -- something like
"D:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe". Note the use of
quotes to deal with embedded spaces. The next problem may be the "//p".
Unless java removes one of the slashes that will only get you "This file
cannot be found."
