Opening a PDF file from within MicroStation

Question

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

Hi there, 
 
please try to attach pdf file as raster via Raster Manager. Another option might be installing Acrobat X, please see what other users reported:

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:	emp\001-Untitled.pdf 
 what versions of acrobat reader and microstation are you using?
