Hello David,

it's what I wrote. This works, but ther is a problem with the batch 
file. We have different versions of adobe installed on the compiter and 
the installation path of every version changes. In this case I have to 
write a different batch file for different computers.

A direct call would be better because I can read the path to the exe 
from the registry via a vouch32 function.
