Charles, Check out:
launch url or… launch [documentPath with] applicationPath in the dictionary example script… on mouseUp put the effective fileName of this stack into tPdf set the itemDel to slash delete item -1 of tPdf put "/Support/Instructions.pdf" after tPdf launch tPdf with "/Applications/Preview.app" end mouseUp …works for me in a standalone if you add a folder ‘Support' containing the ‘Instructions.pdf' in the ‘Copy Files’ pane of the ’Standalone Application Settings’. For this to work in the IDE, make sure the ‘Support’ folder is next to the Livecode stack.
