openDoc and Reader to open a PDF in a new window

Avatar

Level 2

I have a button that when clicked launches: app.openDoc("Samples.pdf");

The script works fine in Acrobat Pro, but does not work in Reader. Is this a restriction in Reader? Is there another method of opening a PDF from within the form?

The functionality I am seeking is straightforward: the button is placed besides a drop-down list of items and the PDF file shows examples of the various items.
