from the workflow manual:
Of course you need to configure the viewer to respond to the request for
editing. In Sumatra combined with SciTE the magic command is:
c:\data\system\scite\wscite\scite.exe "%f" "-goto:%l"

pdf viewers use the lib .. what we're discussing is hwo to make them
call a program instead
