Opening pdf with .bat file

Hi all,

I was reading this thread:
http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25317&highlight=pdf
because I want to do the same - launch a pdf from a button. The problem is that I will end up launching 47 pdfs from 47 buttons (one per, obviously). What I want to know is, do I need a .bat file for every single .pdf file? or is there some way to consolidate?

Question #2 - if I DO need a .bat for each .pdf then do they all have to be at the same level as my main swf? Or can I tuck them into a subdirectory?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
