hi,

I am working in Carbon C application (Mac OS 10.4.7)

I want to open a pdf file which is placed in the desktop using System command.

My code is

system("/Users/laserwords/Desktop/test1.pdf");

The output is permission denied

What can i do to rectify this?

Thanks in advance....

It appears to me that you are trying to execute the above line instead of reading it. I believe you need to include the application you want to open the test1.pdf file with.
