Some ideas, none tested: 1) Use Python to download the document and from the Windows box, do an os.startfile(path) 2) Use a Python web framework (such as Turbogears, Pylons or Django) to display the pdf in the browser if acrobat is installed 3) If the pdf is only accessible from a machine on your local network, than you can do #1 without downloading it if you have samba running. I've opened PDFs on our Debian boxes like this: os.startfile(r'\\server\path\to\pdf') HTH Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
