On which OS does your application run and which version of Progress/OpenEdge you are using?

Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.
 
Assuming this is for a windows GUI environment,
You will need a control to display the document in.
Something like an ocx/dll
Without the specific details of the environment, it is hard to give
help with examples
But basically you either need a dll to call that will open the PDF
or a OCX dropped onto a window that will point to the PDF document.
If U give more information I could help further

Forgot to ask: What exactly do you want to achieve, what should be the user experience when the document has been opened. Should it be "embedded" in your application or is it enough to open it in the Acrobat reader? If it should be "embedded" in your application then there is no other way as to use some PDF viewer OCX control. If the latter is sufficient there are several options which always use OS-COMMAND.

BTW: Progress 9.1c is more than 10 years old software, and, AFAIK was never supported on Windows Vista.

How about creating a 3rd party PDF viewer to open and view PDF files with the help of some manual toolkits? I am learning about the related projects these days.
