Linking PDF files in child project

[Donna36930743a8lw]

Hi,

I am trying to link PDF files from one child project to another, i.e. Child 1 contains the link, Child 2 contains the PDF.

When I create the link in Child 1, a copy of the PDF is created in assets >docs.

This is making my project too large.

Also when I later make changes to the PDF in Child 2, they do not transfer into the link in Child 1, as the link in Child 1 is actually linking to the PDF it previously created in assets >docs.

Is there any way to link to the PDF directly in the Child 2 project, so I don't have to redo the hyperlink each time there are changes to the document?

I hope this makes sense!

What version of RH and what output are you creating with these child projects?

Version 2022.5.28

And it's a Frameless output

Maybe you want to try something like this? https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2022/authoring/resource_linking.htm

Thank you Jeff,

That works better, because I'll be able to fix all the links to the revised pfd in one place.
