How to pass multiple words as a search argument on the Acrobat Command Line?

i trying launch acrobat using multi-word search parameter on windows xp box. however, acrobat stripping spaces between words. example, trying load acrobat , have search phrase "vision changes" using command line this:

c:\>"c:\program files\adobe\reader 8.0\reader\acrord32.exe" /a search="vision changes" c:\temp\thedocument.pdf

when acrobat loads, shows search panel phrase "visionchanges" in it. space between 2 words gone , naturally can't find phrase.

i have read both pdf command line parameter documents find. format works fine urls, shelling acrobat on local system, doesn't work because of space stripping problem. have tried lots of different variants of quote characters, escape characters, html characters "&nbps;", nothing works.

does have answer?

for curious here links 2 pdf documents found cover command line arguments:

thanks,

hey robert,

did note in "pdf_open_parameters.pdf" document, says value of search parameter treated list of (single) words, not string of words (phrase)?

it says explicitly: "you can search single words. cannot search string of words."

ps: i'm replying query sort of thank posting links documents. helped me find way of conditioning how open pdf.
