Clickable Links in a PDF

[Flood, Donna]

If the location of the document is not specified (explicit), it is my
understanding that the PDF will look for that document (the implicit)
only within the same directory as the document which contains the link.
So if the linked-from doc and the linked-to doc are in the same
directory, it should find it.  If not, you need to make the link
explicit.

Good luck!

Donna

Ron, I'm not sure if I'm understanding, but.... If you create a
hyperlink
in Word and convert the document to PDF using Acrobat, the link goes to
the Internet.

My apologies if this has been covered before. A co-worker wants to
create a pdf with clickable links within a PDF so that if "Click Here"
is a link, clicking on it will open the link, which in this case is a
link to another document within an intranet. I've found that explicit
links i.e. html:.//whatever links work fine, but not implicit ones. Does
anyone know how to create a PDF in which such links work? Creating a pdf
from Word or Acrobat doesn't do the trick (at least the way I am doing
it).
