Hello Heike,
Why not try using the PDF Xtra? You can very easily open PDF Documents from a
URL and actually display them onto your stage instead of a seperate browser. Using the
already created behaviours, the process becomes even easier. There is also a global
method called PDF_AcrobatInfo() that returns a Lingo property list describing the
presence and state of
Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader on the current computer.
Also, there is plenty of documentation, a tutorial and samples you can
reference.
You can download the PDF Xtra for evaluation at www.PDFXtra.com
Please feel free to contact me if you would like any more information.
Thank you,
Steve

Subject: <lingo-l> is acrobat reader installed?
hello list,
i'm opening some pdfs in the user's browser via a button. so i have:
on mouseUp
gotoNetPage "@/pdfs/test.pdf"
end
this works fine.
but how do i check whether the user actually has acrobat reader installed so
i can annoy him with a "sorry, you need to install acrobat reader first"
alert? essentially i need a
check if reader is installed
if yes
open document
if no
put out an alert
it's not do-able without an xtra, right? please help.
thx,
heike .-)
ps: and just to annoy everyone completely... where are the searchable
archives of the list again?? i only have this adress:
http://mail4.fcgnetworks.net/archives/lingo-l/ which does not have a search
window .-(
