I am creating a PDF file (for an architectural survey) that will have links to click and "Open a File" to bring up either a jpg or .swf in Windows Explorer. I add the link, navigate the path to the jpg or swf file, save the PDF, then zip the photos and SWF files up with the linked PDF. I perform exactly the same series of actions every time but 70% of the time, the links will not successfully open and it says the image cannot be found.
When they do work, I get a message that the link is trying to open: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
When they do not work, I get a message the the link is trying to open C:\Users\LGrimes\AppData\Local\Temp\wza80f\5848 - Photos Linked\DSCN1773.JPG
I can't figure out to to make a "relative" path rather than an absolute path and I don't know what to trouble shoot because it works sometimes and then doesn't work other times. What would be changing when I link that it would either look for the program versus the actual file path?
I need an answer ASAP.
Thank you.
