Hi,

I would like to open a pdf file using acrobat reader form a vb.net
application.

Is there a vb method to do this or do I need to run a shell command?

If I need to run a shell command how do determine the executable path for
for acrobat reader?

Thanks,

John.

You should be able to just launch your pdf and windows should handle
opening acrobat for you.

Look at the process.start method. For the path that you use to for the
application to launch just use the path to your pdf.
