Assuming that you have Adobe Reader, Acrobat, or some other PDF viewer
installed, and the ".pdf" file-extension is mapped to that program, you can
generally follow the file path as a hyperlink using the
Application.FollowHyperlink method. For example:

Application.FollowHyperlink Me!PDFPath

(where "PDFPath" is a control on the form where this line of code is
executed).
