DosBox is running on Win7 64Bit
The program I'm using in an old DOS prog.

All is runnung fine except one option:
The program can open PDF files. Under WinNT / Win2000 it starts "CMD.EXE /C START <pdf-filename>" to show the pdf file.

Is it possible to do this too under DosBox?

Try to find an old DOS version of Acrobat Reader (which has been sold commercially), and install that along within DOSBox.

Some games collections come with that, e.g. Ultima Underworld 1+2 Cd-rom collection.
