Enclosing the address in quotes Works for me in Stata 10, i.e.
winexec "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" "C:\Program Files\Stata11\utilities\stoc.pdf"
Hope this helps,

Subject: st: Stata 11 and Acrobat
Hi,
I've checked with Stata Technical Support and haven't found an answer to my question.
I use Foxit as my default PDF reader but Foxit won't make the links to the sources in the manual. Only Adobe Acrobat does. I don't want to make Acrobat my default reader.
So I tried this:
winexec C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe C:\Program Files\Stata11\utilities\stoc.pdf
This opens Acrobat but gives me the message that the file cannot be found. Tech support referred me to a page that put the PDF file in <brackets> such as this, but that didn't help either. Is there any way to get the help document open from within Stata?
Thanks,
Ric
