How to open a PDF file with "Master PDF Editor" application from terminal?

I want to open a PDF file from terminal. I only know the command xdg-open file-name.xxx to open a file. But once I use this command, it opens the PDF file with the Document Viewer application (Evince).

How to open a file from terminal with a non-default application (specifically a PDF with Master PDF Editor)?

Master PDF Editor provides a binary that you can use to open a file from the terminal. Supposing that you have installed the latest version of Master PDF Editor (version 5.9.40 currently), the binary is masterpdfeditor5, so you can open a PDF file using:

masterpdfeditor5 /path/to/file.pdf
