Thanks for the link however this just shows how to use URL if I try this method it in my stand alone exe. It only opens the first page and will not go to the specific page that I want http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3

Put the command to open your PDF at a specific page in a BAT file and use the EXEC fscommand to run the BAT file. That means you need to have a BAT file for every page/PDF combination you want to open but that's the limitation that comes with using Flash (because you can only pass a file name to the EXEC command, no arguments)
If you want to get rid of that limitation you'll need a third party swf2exe tool like my SWF Studio.

That's not very helpful. How does it fail? What did you try to make it work? What did you do to try and figure out why it wasn't working?Quote:

You could always try this Fixing the Windows Start Commadn in Vista to see if that helps. Without more information all I can do is guess at how to help you.
