Then, I wonder why \url{...} works (please take a look at an example below).
Modifying \href{...}{...} coming from hyperref package, I could make it work as
well (there were then other formatting problems).  Does it give a clue
about the trouble?

Best regards,

mahn-soo

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}

This link using \verb|\href| does NOT work:
\href{file:/var/tmp/scale.pdf}{see scale.pdf}

This link using \verb|\url| DOES work:
\url{file:/var/tmp/scale.pdf}

Even with \verb|\url|, it's important to specify the full URI including the
head \verb|file:|.  Otherwise, the link refers to \verb|/private/...|.

\end{document}
