I'm using Suse Linux which has five program that
will open a pdf file from a shell command line.
Acrobat Reader is one of the five.
A right button click on the file should give a
list of programs that will open a PDF file.
Im using a KDE desktop
Open a shell, add the path to the directory where
the PDF file lives, and on the command line type;
xpdf myfile.pdf ## may also work on a Gnome
## Desktop
or any of these for the KDE desktop;
kpdf myfile.pdf
Kghostview myfile.pdf
konqueror myfile.pdf ## my browser + myfile.
Acrobat Reader is also listed on my system. It
open files as adobe reader using the mouse to
open a pdf file but not from the command line
with an arg, and I haven't spent the time to
figgure out why.
You will have to import os and some combination of
any of the exec.. args, or the popen, spawn, or
system modules.
os.execvep() ## or others like execl, execle ....
os.spawnv(),
os.spawnve(),
os.popen()
hope this give some direction.

.I at least need the code for useing
some library for connecting to acrobat
reader and giving the print command on
windows and some thing similar on
ubuntu linux.
Just let the registered .PDF viewer do
it for you.
os.start('myfile.pdf')
Eh? I don't see os.start() it either 2.5
or 2.44 documentation, and it's sure not
there in 2.4.3:
My bad. os.system()
That doesn't work either:
$ ls -l user.pdf
-rw------- 1 grante users 35640
2005-11-21 14:33 user.pdf
$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Dec 10 2006, 22:09:09)
[GCC 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1,
ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)] on linux2 Type
"help", "copyright", "credits" or "license"
for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.system('user.pdf')
sh: user.pdf: command not found

Works fine on my system. You linux guys
just have it hard. The op said "windows".
The posting to which you replied specified
Linux.
I can't answer for ubuntu linux but maybe
you can help there?
I don't see how. Pdf files just aren't
executable.
On Windows, this (where fileName is xyz.PDF,
for example): webbrowser.open(r'file://' +
fileName) starts Acrobat Reader with the
document read in. I have no idea why, because
Acrobat Reader sure ain't my browser;)
Maybe someone could try this out on Linux.
Cheers,
Jussi
