This looks more like a problem for the python list. Depending on your operating 
system what the script needs to do is something like

os.system("acrord "+pdfFilePath)	#linux

or

os.system("start "+pdfFilePath)		#windows


somewhere after the pdf file is created and the file closed. The windows version 
definitely detaches from the current process so that the script can continue.
