It used to be that in the past, I could key-in "% acrord32 c:\mypdf.pdf" top open a PDF file from within MicroStation but this seems to no longer work in SELECTseries, 2,3 or 4. Please advise. Thanks you
Hi You can attach a pdf file via MicroStation References.
Questions in English should better be posted in the English Forum, communities.bentley.com/.../273. You may ask in this forum in German language. Regards Bettina

I use the following keyin without quotes and it opens the pdf in acrobat reader 10 from inside a microstation v8i ss3 session
% acrord32 C:\temp\001-Untitled.pdf
what versions of acrobat reader and microstation are you using?
cadReptile said:% acrord32 c:\mypdf.pdf
That MicroStation key-in sends an instruction to Windows to start application acrord32.exe and open the specified file.
For that to work, Windows must be able to find both the executable file and the data file. Your data file is fully-specified, so presumably Windows can't find acrord32.exe. If a file name is not fully-qualified (i.e. omits the full directory path) then Windows searches for it using the PATH environment variable.
When you first installed Adobe Reader, the installation added its location to the Windows PATH environment variable. You can check that by entering a similar key-in in a Windows command window...
acrord32 c:\mypdf.pdf
If that doesn't work, then it won't work in MicroStation either. Check your PATH environment variable and, if necessary, add the location of Adobe Reader.
