Hyperlinks in PDF files

Hello, smart people.

I'm trying to create a file that contains hyperlinks to photos -- and then I want to be able to send that file (and the photos to which the file hyperlinks, if necessary) to other people and have the hyperlinks work for them.

I've tried creating a Powerpoint file with hyperlinks to photos, and the links work if you put the Powerpoint file in Slideshow mode. But some of the people to whom I want to send the file don't have Powerpoint.

Could there be a way to put hyperlinks in a PDF file? This is just a guess. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

Thank you.

    Sure, that's possible, but you would need Acrobat to do it.

    You should be able to do this with FrameMaker. Look into the Hypertext marker syntax. You can place a Goto URL marker, which will turn into a hyperlink to the specified URL when you create PDF output. IMHO there is no need for Acrobat to make this work.
