>I read the great tip online about using the java script: > >open=Acrobat5\Reader\AcroRd32.exe index.pdf >defaulticon=Acrobat5\Reader\AcroRd32.exe,1 Just to avoid confusion, I'll mention that it's not javascript, it's Windows AutoRun.INF syntax. As written, it probably won't work UNLESS the default drive happens to be C:, and the default folder happens to be whatever's above Acrobat5\Reader That assumes also that there IS such a folder in the first place. Are you dead certain that everyone who receives the CD will have Acrobat Reader installed, and installed in that specific directory tree? It seems unlikely. Instead, I'd do one of two things: 1) Distribute Reader on the CD (see Running Reader from CD on http://www.acrobatfaq.com/ ) or 2) If you're sure the CD user will have *some* form of Reader/Acrobat installed, use Shyam Pillai and Chirag Dalal's LAUNCH utility (free) http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/autorun_launch.htm Launch the index.pdf file and let Windows figure out what app to launch it with and where it lives. > >to make an autorun CD with a pdf document. I put the entire folder "acrobat5" on the CD but when inserted in a PC the CD still looks for AcroRd32.exe on the computer's "C" drive and says it cannot find it. > >What did I do wrong? If I fill in the request in the prompt box for the address "C:\program files...etc" then the CD will work just fine from then on, but obviously I dont want everyone i send this to to have to do that. > >Close, but Frustrated Brianna > >To change your subscription: >http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html > > > ============================================================================= Steve Rindsberg http://www.steverindsberg.com/ To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
