One possible alternative approach - would be to write bookmarks to your large 1100 page PDF document which when clicked on will open the corresponding pdf file desired - such as "334.pdf". AutoBookmark will automatically write bookmarks and link each bookmark to the corresponding file you want to open as a batch process . http://www.pdfstore.com/details.asp?ProdID=525 Steve Harris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond Weisling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 11:16 AM Subject: [PDF] automating many file-to-file links > > The PDF list is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com > __________________________________________________________________ > > This is a problem with local file links. > > I have a large text document, from MS Word (actually done on a Mac > with Nisus Writer, exported under Word 5 format into Word on Mac, > then moved to a Windows platform, so far OK). > > When distilled to Acrobat 5 it is about 1100 pages long.
