I am trying to make a nice presentation with Adobe. The idea i will have main file in main folder on hard drive and also subfolder with manyu different pdf files. Main file will have hyperlink to each file separate. The problem i am facing is that i am transfering all that to a different computer my hyperlinks are not working. I am using Acrobat Pro, the other computer has same version just not pro. It does work on a flash drive on my PC but not on other. Can not find any help in this regards. I do transfer the whole folder and subfolders together with files that required but somewhere along a way a hyperlink is getting broken .

Hi, Hyperlinks in Acrobat do not work like a web link. A relative link will look for the file named in the same folder or the previous folder using a \ in the url. An absolute link will conect to a file in a specific location C:\folder\folder\folder. The links break if you move the files around as the 'address' for the link is different.
Please consider using portfolios, more at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/create-customize-pdf-portfolios.html#:~:text=Create%20PDF%20Po....

I have a bunch of pdf files, which i am trying to link to one specific pdf file as you will see on image below. Everytime person clicks a red box a new file is open. it does work on my laptop only. the moment i transfer all files to a different laptop it is not working. And yest i am transfering all folders and subfolders. I am using usb stick. once usb stick goes to a different laptop thats it.
I am crating links as add link, and from drop down menu in Action panel choosing to open a file, it allows me to choose where the file is located. As i mentioned above i created specific folder for this task to keep all files in one place. Working only with pdf files nothing more. Would really appreciate help

Use the action "Go to a page view" for the links.
