title: How to open a PDF file synchronously from a batch file
body: <p>I want to open a PDF file from a batch file and only continue running that batch file once the user closed the PDF file.</p>
  
  <p>This:</p>
  
  <pre><code>start "" /WAIT "test.pdf" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>waits for the application to close, not the file. so if other files are open, it doesnt work as desired.</p>
  
  <p>How does it work?</p>
