Adobe Acrobat

[Jeffrey W. Stewart]

HP3070 series in-circuit-test with hpux 10.2. I want to right click on a file with extension of PDF and open the file with adobe reader. Adobe reader is installed and used with hp3070 documentation.

Can start the HPUX version of Acrobat and then navigate the menu bar to open a file or you can start acrobat with the filename as the argument.

Jeffrey,

Is your "HP3070" a PC running some form of Windows by any chance?

This forum is about HP-UX running on PA-RISC or Itanium processors and there is no HP3070.

Just to clarify Pete's query, the HP 3070 is a specialised piece of equipment that is used to test Circuit Boards on special jigs, using test software. It is run using an HP 700 series workstation, using HP-UX 10.20 at last version I used to remember and support.

As HP split of the Test and Measurement side, this is now a part of Agilent.
Take a look here:

Sorry Pete, but thought it would help to make things clearer

Melvyn Burnard, thanks for the clarification. Agilent will not be supporting hpux 10.2 much longer and a windows based PC will be used.

I have CDE and wanted to use the GUI and just right click and open a PDF file. If this is the wrong forum, I apologize and will close the thread.

You could setup an application launcher in your CDE environment then start the acrobat from a mouse click. You will still need to provide the file name.

Is what you are looking for similar to the file association types found in the winblows environment? I don't believe this exists is HPUX

[melvyn burnard]

Jeff, do no tbe sorry. You were asking a question regarding HP-UX so this is the right forum.
I was just trying to clear up the confusion over the HP3070.

I was looking up on the adobe acrobat reader for Hp-UX, and hope this may help:

go to:
http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html

select the HP-UX download and after reading the license, download the hpux-5010.tar.gz file.
gunzip hpux-5010.tar.gz
tar -xvf hpux-5010.tar

Read the readme instructions (they should be included).

Start the installation process by doing ./INSTALL

I am not sure how you would integrate it into CDE though.

Hmm, wonder if this might help:

Create a file named Acro.dt in /usr/dt/appconfig/types/C and use the attachment to insert into the new file, making sure to check the paths as per my comments.

set the permissions to 444, and owner:group to bin:bin
Log out, then log back in again and try to open the pdf file from the File Manager.

Hope it helps
