Ctrl-Alt in TOC cannot find file

I created a book with a cover page, a copyright, and a chapter, and added a TOC. It generated fine. But when I save as PDF, the table of contents in the PDF is not live. The cursor points to an item, but when you click it, nothing happens.

I checked the Frame TOC. When I hold Ctrl-alt, the cursor turns to a hand pointer and I can click on the entry. Then an error message appears that "Cannot find xxx file." The name of the file it lists is exactly the name of the chapter file. The chapter file is still exactly where it was when I created the book. All the files are in the same directory.

Anyone have any ideas?

Have you checked the path to be certain that FM is looking in the correct location?

Yes, I've checked. The path is exactly right.

I just copied all the content from the chapter into a new file, imported all the formats from the template again, and added this new file to the book. I deleted the old TOC from the book and deleted the TOC file from the directory. I Added a new TOC. Still the same problem.

How did you check for the path? Did you look at the FM hypertext marker content for each of the bad links? You can also check the link Properties in the PDF to see where it thinks it should be going to as well. This might provide some clues as to what's happening.
