Links not working: Frame 8 to PDF to external file

[Tina Ricks]

Hi everyone,

 

Frame version: 8.0p277

Adobe Acrobat Pro version: 8.2.5

 

I'm creating a giant PDF file (in Frame) of conference papers for a
professional conference. It will be burned on a CD. I have my giant PDF, and
I have a folder called Attachments. Inside the Attachments folder are a
whole load of PowerPoint Show files (.pps)

 

GiantPDF.pdf

Attachments

                Filename.pps

                Filename_2.pps

 

(etc. etc.)

 

In Frame, I created hyperlinks with this setting:

 

Special > Hypertext

Command: Message Client

Syntax box:

Message openfile Attachments/Filename.pps

 

(this seemed like the correct syntax for a relative pathname, based on
several internet resources)

 

On my computer, this works great. I can create my PDF, I can move my folder
structure elsewhere on my computer and things work. 

 

When I create a CD and take it to a different computer, my giant PDF can't
find the PPS files. Why?

 

All internal links within the PDF work fine.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Would love any assistance.
