I already know all that. But you can't programmatically create the link using a relative path such as .\Subfolder\mypdf.pdf which is how the program works now. Instead of having our users all change the way they do things I would rather just expand the path before I built the link. This is why I would like to know if there is a function that will take a relative path and return the full path. -----Original Message----- From: Dick, Steven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 10:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PDFdev] Relative to Full pathing PDFdev is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com _____________________________________________________________ Mallesons Stephen Jaques www.mallesons.com Confidential communication I believe Acrobat 6 does this, really without you knowing. You can set your hyperlinks to relative but when you look at the path by editing the hyperlink the 'Label' displays an absolute path. However the link is actually relative. If you move your document somewhere else and have a look at the path it display it as absolute in the new location. So in essence the link is relative but it just displays as absolute.

The problem is in Acrobat 6.0 links built with the relative path no longer work. It seems you must use the full path when creating links. My question is this: Does anyone know of a function in the SDK or maybe even a Windows API that will take a relative path and return the full path? There is a function like this in Cold Fusion but I can't seem to find one for anywhere else. Thanks.
