Hello,

I've an application in which I need to display a PDF file. Currently,
I'm using exec command to spawn IE and then specify the URL. This does
the job, but now I need to be able to go to a specific spot in the PDF
file.

Is there any easy way to accomplish this?

I poked around and found the dde package, but am only able to open the
URL and not position over any specific text string.

Is there a command switch to do the "find" automatically?

I'd like to know the best ways for TCL to interact with browsers.

Please advise. Thank you!

http://wiki.tcl.tk/8813 lists different techniques and related
problems.
TWAPI is probably a good choice.
