Opening a PDF document from an exe file

How can I open a PDF document from a executable file??
A friend has told me to use this:
fscommand ("exec", "anexo01.bat")
but it opens a black pop up window before opening the
program..... and it don´t seems to be a good solution.....
can someone help me on this?

You can't avoid the echo box, unfortunate but that's the
compromise if you go with
the BAT file method.
For many years I have been using Flash Jester tool call
JStart. Works like charm
all the way, no extra pop up windows :)

JStart will allow you to not only launch a program, but use
parameters to make the
program open files, perform special actions and just about
anything you can use
parameters for. You can also choose to launch files with
their default associated
program.
Another solution is provided by by Rick Turoczy, it's pretty
old but should still
work. Perhaps give it a try.

Easy to use tool that allow you to launch basically anything
from the projector.
As long as there is system default application supporting
particle file.
