Hello,

thank you all for your help.
I solved it in a different way. When I get the files via ftp I can give 
a different destination name. This name is only 8 long. This way I 
solved also the other problem 	"start acrobat reader from clipper".
I can also rename the extension to pdf and open the file with start.exe

Thanks
Andreas
