Great! But how can I pass parameters?
\goto{http://contextgarden.net}[program(C:\\windows\\system32\\shutdown.exe)]
only prints a help message (pretty unuseful) and
\goto{http://contextgarden.net}[program(C:\\windows\\system32\\shutdown.exe -s)]
says that the file wasn't found.
(the rest works as expected, esp. once you check the box "do not show
this warning again")
long time not done, so a guess -)
\goto{http://contextgarden.net}[program(C:\\windows\\system32\\shutdown.exe{-s})]
anyhow, as with more things the pdf specs promise more that is possible. This is why i suggested using
c:\\myscripts\mojca-wants-to-shut-down.cmd
which then calls
c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s

the best way to do it is to make a cmd file (batch file) and use the
\goto{whatever}[program(somename.cmd)] feature; this kind of functionality has
never been robust in acrobat and batch files permit you to set up things
properly (paths, command line arguments, etc);
an alternative is to use http requests and a local http server, but then you
end up with acrobat waiting for some response (url or submit methods)

Hi,
If you excuse my ignorance, but I am looking for a simple example how to launch an executable (a tcl/tk script in my case) from within a pdf document prepared by context.
During a presentation i would like to show some graphics which are generated through the execution of a tcl/tk script.
One could close the pdf file and open the tcl/tk script, but it would be nice if one could symbolically link the script within the pdf file.
Because I prepare the pdf file using context, I searched the context manuals, but didnot find a solution to this problem.
Therefore if somebody has solved this already and is willing to share his/her
experience I would be grateful

[NTG-context] Start of application within a context document
Hi, If you excuse my ignorance, but I am looking for a simple example how to launch an executable (a tcl/tk script in my case) from within a pdf document prepared by context. During a presentation i would like to show some graphics which are generated through the execution of a tcl/tk script. One could close the pdf file and open the tcl/tk script, but it would be nice if one could symbolically link the script within the pdf file. Because I prepare the pdf file using context, I searched the context manuals, but didnot find a solution to this problem. Therefore if somebody has solved this already and is willing to share his/her experience I would be grateful Thanks Stephen ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
