Hi,

I tried "OSProcess command: 'xdg-open ', pdfPathString" in Pharo, and it works for me. Maybe check to be sure that pdfPathString is right?

if you don't control pdfPathStrig you will also need to escape this string. I don't know if Pharo/OSProcess has support for the necessary escaping. E.g. 'foo.pdf; rm -rf /' as input should not lead to the removal of your system. :) holger
