Help with Adobe reader
Hi
When i finish downloading a pdf file that contains links within the document itself to other pdf files ,an error message comes up "could not open the file xyz.pdf".
When i move the mouse pointer over the blue and underlined text it changes to a pointing finger.But when i click it the above said error appears.
Could anybody say what i am doing wrong here and solutions please.
Thanks.

I had exactly the same problem last week.
I totally deleted the version of Adobe reader I had (7.0), and downloaded the latest version. 8.0

That sorted it out.

This can happen if the documents pointed to by the click-able hyperlink in your pdf are not where they are supposed to be - ie within same directory as your pdf file (relative path -easy fix) or hard-coded directory in the link (absolute path).
If I am making no sense at all, here's to 419's solution being the answer.
Good Luck!

Worth downloading version 8 as it fixes innumerable and enormous, gaping security flaws in v.7. Allegedly.
It certainly looks nicer (IMHO)
