List members -

For those sick of hearing about Acrobat (and/or from me) by now, this is
the last "group" question I will answer via the list.  The On-Line
Tutorial which comes with the Adobe Acrobat Suite has all of the answers I
have given, and many more which I haven't even explored yet.  For those of
you who had specific problems, I will answer you individually (if I can)
but please give me a couple of days to get to everyone.  On to the last
question:

> Hi Rosemary,
>
> I have been creating forms using the Acrobat Exchange but I would like to
> know how you would set up a form to launch another application. Can you
> help me with that?
>
> Thank you.

Open the document in Exchange and go to the Form Field Tool.  After
completing the information on the "Text Options" and "Appearance" tabs,
click on the "Actions" tab.  Click a function, then click "Add."  A
drop-down list will appear from which you can choose several actions,
inclduing "open file."  Follow the menu to select the application/file.
Then, click "OK".  There is a caveat when using this option - read the
Acrobat documentation carefully because insertion of some types of files
can cause your computer to crash.
