title: Opening a particular application from matlab?
body: <p>I want to open a PDF from matlab with the winopen or open function. I want to use just the Adobe PDF reader for my program but in general want the default application for windows to be Adobe professional. Is there a way to make sure that the Adobe reader is opened and that it opens the file I want opened without having to use Adobe professional and changing my default settings for preferences? </p>
  
  <p>I want to be able to do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>x = 'row6col8.pdf'
  !start acrord32.exe x
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this does not work any ways around this?</p>
