When I try Program.findProgram("pdf") I get a null returned. However if I
iteratate through the extensions I see pdf. If I iterate throw the
programs I see "{Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Document}". This use to work but I
guess the latest Adobe installed itself. Why wouldn't it work now?

String[] ext = Program.getExtensions();
for (int i = 0; i < ext.length; i++) {
BrowseXML.errout("extension[" + i + "]=" + ext[i]);

}
Program prog = Program.findProgram("PDF");
if (prog == null) {
Program[] p = Program.getPrograms();
for (int i = 0; i < p.length; i++)
BrowseXML.errout("program[" + i + "] = " + p[i]);

throw new SAXException("Could not find program to handle pdf.");
}
