Hey everyone. The developers may be able to answer this.

My Dungeons & Dragons platform uses mostly PDFs when launching items from the main application. In other words, instead of a video game, it runs a PDF that uses Adobe Acrobat to open the PDF. I understand that I can use the new PDF/game manual flipbook plugin to open the PDFs as a supporting document, but is there a way to make it so the main application launches the LaunchBox Reader instead of something like Acrobat?

I want Image 2 to do what image 3 is doing. Let me know if I am not being clear. 

Thanks!

Image 1: The main application with some of the launchable games.

Image 2: This is how the PDFs are currently run, using Adobe Acrobat. I want it to use the LB Reader.

Image 3: This is how a supporting document is added and then run using the LB Reader.

Image 4. This is the path to the PDF being launched.

You can create a new "emulator" that points to the LaunchBox Reader app.  Then have your pdf "games" use this 'emulator'.
