I get the x broken link in top right corner... I tried all the solutions from changing reader settings to IE settings... no luck. the chm links works fine when opened on windows 7 and the pdfs open in multi screen and epub output. This is definitely a Windows 8/IE/Adobe Reader issue and it needs to be solved very soon or I may not have a job...

One possibility is to supply the PDF outside the CHM as a separate file and use the HTML Help Shortcut control to open the PDF.

Have you tried that?

Kind of defeats the purpose of a chm which is what was so appealing about having 1 file. I really need these to work. Surely I am not the only one experiencing this but if I am -- someone please help!

Also, is it best to link pdfs and other files from the main project folder or set up a folder like we do with images.
