That is what it seems like. I did notice something interesting though. I manually created a link to another PDF, giving me a link property of C:\temp\ext.pdf, then moved both PDFs to another drive, keeping the files in the same location relative to each other. When I checked the link property it had changed to D:\temp\ext.pdf. I guess what this means is that although you hard code the path in the link property the PDF checks its own path and adjusts its' externals accordingly. Just a theory. I will have to do more testing. -----Original Message----- From: Leonard Rosenthol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 5:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [PDFdev] Acrobat 6 and external links PDFdev is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com _____________________________________________________________ At 04:19 PM 7/31/2003 -0400, Wil Paulk wrote: >I need some information about programmatically creating external links.

Anyone have any ideas? There have been reports that relative paths in links don't function correctly in Acrobat 6 - but I haven't heard anything from Adobe about whether this is by design or a bug...
