Hi Marcus,
There are 3 things to consider in opening a PDF:
1 - finding path to the PDF on your CD or hard drive
2 - finding the path to the Acrobat Reader on the target machine

Hello Marcus,
Another approach would be to include a copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader on your CD-ROM,
then you will know the path to your PDFs (if included on CD), as well as the path to
Acrobat Reader. Adobe's licencing allows you to do so, check out their website for
details.
