Oh boy Robert, you have an awful lot to learn. the <a href...> part is
HTML, it is nothing to do with php. HTML is interpreted by your
browser. php runs on the server and so it has no way of opening
acrobat on your client (a PC, tablet, phone, ...).

If you check the documentation for HTML (there is lots around on the
internet), you will never find anything that says that you can put
such a link in there. At best, you could have your client configured
such that, if say a .pdf file is delivered by the browser, it will
launch Acrobat, but that is dependant on the set up of your machine
(and influenced by the headers sent by the server).

Escouse me for souch a stupid question,
I understoded that this what it hapens on client
not a server side, 5 minuts after putting a question...

Thanks, Robert..;)
