Adobe Acrobat Reader Hyperlink Security Warning

Hi,

I have a USB dongle which has a PDF contents page which hyperlinks to other documents, all stored within the same USB (just in different folders).

Every time you follow any hyperlink you get two security warnings, below is the first,

Then,

Even when you have the tick box checked to remember this action, the prompt comes up every time I open the same, or different, file.  Is there any way to disable these warnings?

I have looked at and checked with the Trust manager, but no success.

Many Thanks
Rich

    Hi Richmillener,

    As per the description above, you are getting the Security Warning while opening any PDF files using Adobe Reader, Is that correct?

    Please try the steps from the following thread: Security Warning: This document is trying to connect...

    Hi Anand Sri,

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.  I have followed your threads you suggested and by modifying the settings for specifying privileged locations for trusted content I have been able to remove the first security warning which is great.

    Is there a way to still remove the second one or will this always appear when you are trying to launch an embedded pdf link on a USB site (even though the link is to a document also on the USB stick).

    Many Thanks

    Rich

    There are different kinds of links between PDF. Hyperlinks and open file are likely to be very security conscious because they can open any type of file. Worth trying a Go To View link instead.

    Does the go to view link require paid adode acrobat  is it a command that could be written manually into links in say an obt before exporting to PDF?
