How can I open a PDF document that I’ve created in code-behind in Adobe Reader?
If you want to open a pdf with the application that has a file association with it, do the following:
If you want to open a specific application instead (like Adobe Reader when you don’t have a file association) do the same thing by passing the pdf file path as a command line parameter. You’ll need to get the path to AcroRd32.exe from the registry because people may have different versions installed, or installed it to a different location.
The first option is generally better, because your software will respect whatever pdf reader your end-users have selected on their computer, or they may not have it installed at all.
