I'd like to open a pdf from whatever location with Acrobat Pro. I have found scripts that open files on my desktop, but what I would like to have is the possibility to open any pdf in whatever location with Acrobat.
How do I go about?
(And before anyone asks: there's a bug in Acrobat XI that somehow messes with the doubleclick feature to open pdfs. So it seems a good idea to have applescript command that.)

I am trying to simply generate pdf file on windows from the command below:
convert 1.png mypdf.pdf
But when I open the generated pdf, it says Something went wrong. See the image below
Install and configure ImageMagick to work with AEM Assets. Then open the generated PDF using Adobe Acrobat Reader or any other document viewer, but Adobe Acrobat is recommended because it is developed by Adobe Inc. who also developed the Portable Document Format (PDF) in 1993.
I'm using Texify plugin for Pycharm to write latex. After running, I have to go manually to "out" folder and open it with Adobe. How to make Pycharm do that automatically?
I see this option but I don't know how to fill it up.
Adobe locking the pdf file is a well-known issue, and so Adobe is not supported by TeXiFy. Depending on which OS you are on, the following pdf viewers are supported (links to TeXiFy wiki pages):
All: internal PDF viewer, via the PDF viewer plugin.
Windows: SumatraPDF
Linux: Evince, Okular, and Zathura
Mac: Skim
where supported means that the pdf automatically opens on compilation and that forward and backward search should work, the latter possibly after some configuration.
When you want to use some other pdf viewer, make sure that it does not lock the pdf file (so Adobe is not possible) and enter the command you would use to open the viewer from the command line in the Select custom pdf viewer command field. This should work on (at least) most Linux and Mac distributions.
Edit
As of TeXiFy b0.7.4 the internal PDF viewer is supported through the PDF viewer plugin.
Alternatively there is a PDF Plugin, to open it within PyCharm, which you can install from the store.

I have a simple Win32 app writen in C, in which I would like to open PDFs. I know I can compile and link to Poppler library, but is there a way to use Acrobat Reader? Kind of like what browsers do, if you have Reader installed, they are automatically able to display PDF in a window though some plugin interface. The problem is, I never used a plugin, not wrote such an interface. How to? Is it also possible to install Reader afterward and somehow make the app aware of its presence?
I would also like to control, say, the zoom. And what the PDF could be in memory, as well.
Edit:
I just found this [1]:
"If you have installed Adobe Reader, you can add a COM reference to the PDf viewer ActiveX control in VisualStudio and use it inside a WindowsFormsHost control."
but I don't understand what does it says: how do I create "COM reference" and use "WindowsFormsHost" in plain Win32 C?

On windows if you type mypdf.pdf and hit return in a Command Prompt it opens the pdf in the associated application (in most cases Adobe Reader). So in c# I start a new process with the pdf as the file to run.
You should be able to do something similar in c without bothering with plugins.
In addition to what Nifle said, if instead of running it as a separate application you want to run Acrobat Reader as a plugin within your application's window (as for example IE runs it within IE's window), Adobe Acrobat Reader download page says,
An ActiveX control for Internet Explorer and a plug-in for Netscape Navigator are included and automatically installed in the browser of your choice.
The plug-in technology is probably the technology called ActiveX.
I'm using SCO Unix, with old version of ghostscript (7.7). When I convert the postscript source file to pdf otput file, It's content is visible on the SCO machine. But when I copy the pdf file into windows, and open it with adobe acrobat, all I can see is a blank page. Does anybody have a solution to this?
It may because you have not embedded the fonts in the PDF. Windows did not have the Unix fonts and that is why are seeing a blank page. To be sure, open the PDF in Adobe Reader and press Ctrl+D. Check the fonts tab and see if those fonts are available in Windows. You could try copying the Unix fonts to Windows Fonts folder. But the better approach would be embed the fonts into the PDF on the Unix terminal itself.
