Good example. The path to AcroRd32.exe is different in almost any language.

One way to do this would be have the GNUmed installer look for it in the 
Windows registry and edit the gm-print_doc.bat during installation to put in 
the correct path.

But this will not be neccessary I think with GNUmed 0.9+1. So before putting 
this into the installer I will wait for GNUmed 0.9+1

can you show an example ? The latex template most likely has German text. 
Later on there will be multiple latex templates for many languages.

Thanks for showing that it works in principle
