RELATIVE LINKS

Question

Created a PDF from a Word file that had HYPERLINKS in it.  Acrobat interpreted the links as OPEN A WEB (Execute a Menu Item) links.  I am EDITING those links to make them OPEN A FILE links, but when I ADD the file in the EDIT dialog box, the links become ABSOLUTE links with the drive letter included.  What do I need to do to create RELATIVE file path to the linked file?

If the links are to documents that are on the same drive as the PDF, they will be relative, even though it doesn't appear that way in Acrobat. You can easily test it by moving the PDF to another folder. You'll see that the links will now point to a different location. If the files you linked to are on another drive, though, the links will be absolute with the full path of the file.
