In my experience as a seminar presentation organizer, this messes-up 9 times out of 10 (unless the presenter is using his or her own laptop, and even then they cannot get it connected to the projector maybe 20% of the time...). Things are getting a bit better now on the presentation front, however. (PowerPointers still get funny font stuff from time to time). Why not, rather, depend on a link opening an external file, distributed with the pdf, letting the system figure out how this is to be done? In my experience this works more generally.
