I have an interactive PDF created in indesign.

 

I have hyperlinks in my doc that open/connect to pdfs in a separate folder where the hyperlinked pdfs are stored. 

 

I would like to have this interactive pdf placed on a website maintaining the separate file structure and its links.

 

How do you accomplish this?

PDFs cannot do what you describe. Have you considered a shared online storage folder?

I'm a little confused.  I'm currently doing that with a document right now (hyperlinking the document with external pdfs in a separate folder).  

The main problem is transferring that to a web based document.

 So, is it that the hyperlinks will not work in a web environment this way?

How would the shared online storage folder work?

Sorry for the dumb question……..

John, 

If I recall correctly, the only place you can get away with that is if all your material is stored on Desktop. Is that your case?
