Using Native Application to open file

This may be of interest to you. I have been looking around the web and found on a post that it is possible to open the real Acrobat viewer from Java, although it is O/S specific.

• For windows :
• Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{ "rundll32", "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler", "filename.pdf" });

• For a mac:
• Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"open", "filename.pdf" });
