They are 100% pain in the ***, on both Linux and Windows, because some programs cannot handle them and they have a tendency to screw up badly written scripts. On Windows, the problem for 'native' batch scripts is the limited ability to quote stuff properly, so although Windows started with big-scale use of spaces in file names, it is at the same time the OS that handles them worst in batch files. > I have not yet found a proper solution, so if > somenone has one ...

Another one would be to install acrobat reader in a place without spaces. Andre'
