Description

Displays the specified PDF file.

Usage

openPDF(file, bg=TRUE)

Arguments

file	A character string, indicating the file to view
bg	Should the pdf viewer be opened in the background.

Details

Currently this function works on Windows and Unix platforms. Under Windows, whatever program is associated with the file extension will be used. Under Unix, the function will use the program named in the option "pdfviewer" (see help(options) for information on how this is set.)
