Hi All -
We are planning to rewrite a GUI application in Java/Swing. In our current GUI (using Visual Basic), users can search for some documents and the search results display a list of PDF documents. If the user does a double click on one of the results, the application launches Adobe Acrobat reader with the corresponding PDF file. We know that Acrobat Reader is available in most platforms. But, how can I launch Acrobat reader from my
Java application without sacrificing the platform independent feature of Java? How can I check whether Acrobat reader is installed in the platform in which the GUI is run? All suggestions will be appreciated.
