AcroPDF has a simple and inexpensive solution to your problem. http://www.autorun-autoplay-tools.com/gst-acropdf-launch2.htm They have a tutorial on how to organize the files on CD and get Reader (placed on the CD) to run from the CD. We've used their product for several years and it works great. If the user has Acrobat already running, you have to warn the user to close it before inserting the CD. If the disk does not autorun, you have to provide some guidance to the user to find the autorun.exe file on the CD and start that.
