Hello
I am using Director 7.0.2 for a project and I am having problems opening
"pdf" files on Windows. The following code works fine on a Mac. It also
works on Windows(95, 98) in Authoring mode. However, at runtime it only
works on one of our machines running Windows 98. On other machines running
Windows(95, 98, 2000) the "pdf" does not open. It looks like its about to
(the cursor turns to the hour glass) but nothing happens. The paths are all
correct.
global gPathDelim
on mouseUp
gPathDelim = (the moviepath).char[(the moviepath).char.count]
pdfFilePath = the moviepath & "DataFiles" & gPathDelim & "pdfFiles" & ¬
gPathDelim
pdfFileName = "someFile.pdf"
if fileExists(pdfFilePath & pdfFileName) = 0 then
if the platform contains "Windows" then
open (pdfFilePath & pdfFileName) with (the pathname & "AcrobatReader" & ¬
gPathDelim & "Win" & gPathDelim & "Reader" & gPathDelim & "AcroRd32.exe")
else --Mac platform
baOpenFile (pdfFilePath & pdfFileName, "" )
end if
else
alert "The PDF is missing."
end if
end
I have included "Acrobat" on the CD. It is on the same level as the "exe".
Any ideas?
Thanx
Justin
