I apologize for this mostly off-topic question, but I do not have access
to comp.text.tex and there may be a relation to pdftex... I'm using
hyperref version hyperref 2003/11/30 v6.74m. Here's what I tried to
post:
This question/problem has been asked many times before, but so far
it has not been answered that I can tell after googling the archives.
Hopefully I missed something obvious.
I want to put a pdf with hyperref on a CD and have a link
to a local file that will be opened by a browser. E.g.:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\href{file://subdir/index.html}{Test link}
\end{document}
where "subdir" is a directory on the CD and index.html is
is an index file for a html file on the CD.
I've tried various permutations of the \href
line (eg, 0 slashes, 3 slashes, a leading dot), but mostly I get the
error:
Can not open "file:/subdir/index.html"
In other words, something is putting a forward slash
in front of the path. Is there no way around this, even an inelegant
hack involving a hand-coded \special? Is it a problem with hyperref or
browsers? How can I solve my problem? (Clearly, a CD can be mounted
anywhere, so absolute paths (which work correctly) are not a viable
solution.)
Thanks in advance.
Jim

Follow-up: I've learned that the following works in Windows using
acrobat 6.0:
\href{run:subdir/index.html}{Local}

2nd follow-up and conclusion:
The \href{} line below also works with linux acroread 5.06/5.0.10 *as
long as" the mozilla browser is already open (RH9 and FC3). It fails if
it is not open, but a subsequent click on the link will work. So,
perversely, if the user double clicks *slowly* it works the "first"
time. I haven't tested it on other linux browsers.
(Sorry about all this...) If someone has any additional
insights/comments, please send them to me offline.
Jim
