Answer 1

Here's a piece of code I got from someone else a long time ago and modified to open a PDF:
PROCEDURE OPEN_PDF(vFile IN VARCHAR2)
IS
vcServerApp varchar2(40);
vcServerTag varchar2(600);
vcCommand varchar2(2000);
iArgPos pls_integer;
dummy NUMBER;
BEGIN
-- 1 get the Server App for .PDF files
vcServerApp := win_api_environment.read_registry('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\.PDF','',true);
-- 2 get the executable
vcServerTag := 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\'||
vcServerApp||'\SHELL\OPEN\COMMAND';
vcCommand:= win_api_environment.read_registry(vcServerTag,'',true);
-- 3 Sort out how to specify the Filename
iArgPos:= instr(vcCommand,'%1');
if iArgPos = 0 then --no substitution Var on the command line
vcCommand := vcCommand||' '||vFile;
else
vcCommand := substr(vcCommand,1,(iArgPos-1))||
vFile||substr(vcCommand,(iArgPos+2));
end if;
-- 4 Run using Winexec (or Host if preferred).
win_api_shell.winexec(vcCommand);
EXCEPTION
when no_data_found then
abortt('Acrobat Reader was not found! Please consult with your help desk to install it and try again.','N');
END;
