Hello everybody!
I don't speak English very well so, i'm sorry.
I'm trying to do a program that opens .pdf and .ppt files using this code:

if(mousePressed){
open("11.pdf");
}

11.pdf is in the "data" folder, but when i press the mouse, the program does nothing.
¿How can I do that?
Thanks

open("H:/Temp/filename.pdf");
works for me on Windows 7.
Try open("data/11.pdf");
It might be that open() isn't aware of the data folder like other Processing commands are, because it is more used to run things somewhere on the disk (some application) than user files.

It works!
I had to put the entire url of the file
("C:/Users.../data/file.pdf")
The program will be released on a DVD, will I have any problem about the unit name or "D:/data/file.pdf" will work?
Can't I write a relative route?
Thanks

Have you tried the data/file.pdf?
Alternatively, you can try: dataPath("file.pdf")
