My app generates an on the fly PDF manual by using reportlab, once generated I
would like it to be automatically opened and displayed by XP adobe reader.
Here's where I get stuck. ...
os.execv('E:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe',
('/n', '/s', 'user.pdf'))
Does what I need and works great but I manualy searched around to find the
path to AcroRd32.exe. Short of writting some code to scan any adobe dirs for
this exe is there a more elegant way for me to ensure my app will work on any
windows machine ?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated
Dave
