A little more info might help.

What is the nature of the links, e.g.,
-- simple x-ref's within the same file
-- cross-file within the same book
-- cross-file to other documents not in the book
-- links to URLs
-- mailto: links
-- other hypertext commands?

Do ALL links fail, or if only some, what's different?

Are you following the identical procedure as before when creating the 
PDF files?  Using Print to Adobe PDF vs. Save As PDF?  All files open, 
including book files of cross-ref targets outside this book?  (If you 
have cross-file links, the nature of the path information saved in the 
PDF will be different depending on whether or not the target's book file 
is open at the time.)  Is your folder structure the same as before?

best,
