That's your problem right there.

The Mac purports to have support for ISO 9660 discs ... and it does, but
only at 'ISO 9660 Level 1' This means basically 8.3.

You can get around the problem by burning a proper Mac/ISO hybrid which will
allow you to have filenames up to the full limit of MAC OS 9.x of 31
characters, but this obviously does not fix your filenames at 36 characters

In either instance what happens is this

Windows filenames:
this is my file.pdf
this is my other file.pdf

On the Mac these become:
this i~1.pdf
this i~2.pdf

Obviously since these are now the filenames that the mac is 'seeing' it can
no longer 'see' the target files specified.

OSX does not suffer from this problem.

So your options are

1) re-author

2) Create a proper Mac/PC hybrid disc and re-author JUST the links that are
longer than 31 characters.
