Hypertext links not working after pdf conversion

Question

I have a document that contains many hyperlinks to external PDF files. Not sure if I created the link correctly to start with, but when I save the book file as a pdf none of the links to the external pdf files work. I entered the location of the files as the marker tex as shown ../Vendor_Data/Show/vendor_manual.pdf not sure if I need anything in the hypertext field. can someone assist. the directory structure is: c:\techpubs\Frame\files.fm the vendor data is c:\techpubsVendor_Data\data.pdf.

Thanks

> ... many hyperlinks to external PDF files.What Marker type?> I entered the location of the files as the marker text as shown>../Vendor_Data/Show/vendor_manual.pdfWhy is "/Show" in that path?> ... the directory structure is:> c:	echpubs\Frame\files.fm> the vendor data is> c:	echpubsVendor_Data\data.pdf.You are missing a "" after "techpubs", and the pdf names don't match.I presume that even when you get that working locally, you are aware that it won't work whenever the calling and called files don't have exactly the same directory-relative relationship. This further means that if consumers of your documents make local copies, they also have to recreate that local directory structure, which typically they won't.Using fully qualified URLs instead of relative path references is more stable, but of course always forces the reference to use the web.
