Naftali,
I ran the following from python prompt
import os
os.system('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /n
thello.pdf')
and this worked as did
import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(['C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader
11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe','/n','thello.pdf'])
however I also tried running
import subprocess
subprocess.Popen('AcroRd32.exe /nthello.pdf')
which seems closer to your
new_command_str = "AcroRd32.exe /n" + outputname
subprocess.Popen(new_command_str)
and that fails; the python error is
C:\Users\rptlab\tmp>tpdf.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\rptlab\tmp\tpdf.py", line 6, in <module>
