What version are you using? I just now tried it on 7.6 and 9.5 32-bit and on version X 64-bit and it works for me in all 3 versions. Shows only the PDF files that start with the letter I specified.
You have alot of parameters that I don't have in my statement. Have you tried just using the pared-down plugin command that I used? Or just start with just the filter, and if that works add more parameters until something doesn't work?

I have done it both ways with the same result. All the pdfs in the folder show. Per the Help file, the # sign is just for multiple file types (BMP and PDF).

Can this code or is there another code that can open a folder but then only show files within that folder based on a variable? I do not want my user to have to search through all the pdfs. I know I can launch a specific pdf based on the order number. However if there are two pdfs due to a split shipment, I want the user to see just those pdfs rather than all the pdfs in the folder. Or if both can print to the screen one after another that may work. The pdfs will have the first eight common digits with the last being different.
