Problems opening a PDF file

HD
Hi,

I have a page with a button that calls a Javascript function that opens a
pdf file with Acrobat Reader in a popup window (function code is below).
When I work on my own computer (http:/localhost) it works fine... but when I
work on our Extranet server, it does not open the pdf file...
Do I need to have Acrobat Reader on the server?? I thought that AR just
needed to be on the client's own computer.
Maybe it is my javascript function...
Please help.

Here is the function:

function OpenMyFile(myfilename){
if (myfilename == "NonExistant") {
alert("Does not exist!");
}
else {
window.location = myfilename;
}
}

TIA,
HDumas
