open (display) pdf files in Sikuli

Question

I want to open (display) in adobe reader pdf files from my directory of pdf files in Sikuli. I manage to do this for one file:

import os
import subprocess 

file = 'C:/Users/.../pdf/test3.pdf'
subprocess.Popen([file],shell=True) 

This works fine.

Now, I want to do this for each pdf file in my directory. Here is my code so far:

import os
import subprocess 

source = 'C:/Users/.../pdf'
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(source):
    for file in filenames:
        subprocess.Popen([file],shell=True)

But it is not working. Can someone plase help me to get the for statement right?

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Try this:

import os
import subprocess 

source = 'C:/Users/.../pdf'
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(source):
    for file in filenames:
        if file.endswith('.pdf'):
            pdf_fullpath = os.path.join(root, file)
            subprocess.Popen([pdf_fullpath],shell=True)

You need to provide fullpath of pdf file, not just the filename.
