Hello, friends!

I am stuck with a problem that I can not 'invoke' a PDF file from my perl program with Win32::Process(...).

system("path-to-file.pdf");
[download]

works well, but it is creates a console window (whereas I am writing GUI(Tk) utility) and console window is not desirable.

Following

use Win32::Process;
sub ErrorReport{
  print Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError());
}
my $procobj;
Win32::Process::Create(
  $procobj,
  "d:\\Adobe\\Acrobat 5.0\\Acrobat\\Acrobat.exe",
  "x D:\\WORK\\Documentation\\cd-writing\\perl-technology\\root-cd-tk\
+\files\\PSAX1250_IG_R610_Iss1-mp.pdf",
  0,
  NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
  "."
)  || die ErrorReport();
[download]

works okay on my machine (for given PDF file and path to PDF viewer, but this solution is even worse because I can not guess which PDF viewer has (if at all) user on its machine.

If anyone have an idea, please help me!

Warmest wishes,
Vadim.
