run a pdf file . Can somebody help me?

[urubullino]

I need to run a pdf in cfm page.
It needs to run the standard program (acrobat reader ,...) and then, open my PDF file.

How can i do this?
Thanks

Check out the <CFDOCUMENT> tag. You can use this tag to generate PDF files.

Here's a tutorial direct from Adobe:

Hope this helps!

Just to be clear, you can't control what happens on the user's computer from the CF server. What you *can* do is serve the pdf in such a way that it will most likely be opened by Acrobat. However, for that to happen, the user must have Acrobat installed on _their_ computer. Most people do have it installed - but again, that's not something you can control.

Anyway, if you already have an _existing_ pdf, use <cfcontent> with the correct mime type to serve the pdf to the user's browser.

<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="c:\pathTo\yourFile.pdf">

If you prefer, you can use <cfheader> (first) to tell the browser whether the pdf should be treated as an "attachment" or displayed "inline" ie witin the browser window.

<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment; filename="desiredFileName.pdf"/>
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="c:\pathTo\yourFile.pdf">
