I am trying to make a copy of a book for a second edition of the book.  I use book feature in Indesign and the book has 60 documents.  The book contains tons of hyperlinks.  How can a package the book without breaking the hyperlinks?  What I mean by hyperlinks is theat if I jump from one document in the book to another docuement in the book by using Indesign hyperlink "Page" it works great. But if I ever pacakage the book to save it to another location on my disk drive (to say start the second edition of the book), all my hyperlinks get broken.  Is there a work around for this?  Is there a script that will relink all hyperlinks to the correct dirctory structure.  It appears that the Indesign uses the absolute path on all hyperlink. Is this correct? So if I package an entire book and save the package to the new folder (that is created during the packaging process) is there a script I can run that will relink all the hyperlinks to the package folder that was created?
