Use Runtime.exec, e.g.
// In windows 95/98
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start mydoc.pdf"
;
// In windows NT
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c start mydoc.pdf"
Assuming that adobe acrobat is registered to open pdf files (this assumes windows), this should work. In Unix/Linux, you will have to use whatever pdf viewer is installed.d
