iReport 1.2.7 Acrobat Preview
To automatically preview iReport PDF files using Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to Options/Settings/External Programs. For PDF Viewer, locate your Acrobat installation folder and select the AcroRd32.exe file.
Now this would work except that by default iReport 1.2.7 creates the PDF file in its home folder ".". This is a relative path and of course Acrobat has no idea what its relative to.
To fix this, go to Settings/Compiler and change ‘Default compilation directory’ from "." to a complete path like "C:\" or better yet "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents".
