Hi All,

I am trying to get PDF Studio to open multiple pdf's
from a script.  But PDF Studio will only accept one file
name on its command line.  But you can have multiple
PDF Studios open, so I tried

find  -maxdepth 1 -iname \*.pdf -exec /opt/pdfstudio9/pdfstudio9 {} \;

But you have to close the first instance to get the second
to open, etc..

I have tried adding "&" to the end, but no syntax joy.

How to I get "-exec" to run and release, so "find" can go
on to the next instance?

Many thanks,
-T
