I would like to open a saved pdf in a default program, such as Acrobat. I have code that allows me to populate form fields and then print the PDF, but I don't see how to open a saved pdf. Can anyone provide me with a code sample? I'm using QuickPDF library.

Thanks,

Jeff

Which development environment you are using ?

Hint: try to use ShellExecute

Thanks for the response. I use Clarion for Windows, by SoftVelocity.

I already use ShellExecute and it works well. I was just looking for a method in QuickPDF to do the same thing.
