If you have the filename and you can access that file from your java code then you could use

 

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /C start AcroRd32 " + """ + filename + """);

 

where file is the fully qualified path name.

 

Is this what you mean ?

but for other normal pdf which is not created by jasper manager it works fine.

1. If you try to open the generated pdf in acrobat outside of your application does that work ?

 

2. Do you get any exceptions ?

 

3. Is it possible that the application generating the pdf still has the file open ?

I think the application kept the file open,and that was the reason,I shut down eclipse and start it again,it works fine now.

 

Thanks alot for the quick reply:)
