Acrobat links don't work on web site

Problems with Adobe Acrobat links on a web site.

Can anyone help me solve the following:

1) LINKS: I have a series of Acrobat files (15) connected with each other by more than a thousand links. I made them few years ago for a CD of a religious nature (for free distribution). The links assume that all the files they point to are in the same directory. On the CD all worked perfectly.
I'm now opening a web site and, even if my Acrobat files are in the same directory of the server, when I open the site each file is loaded on a different “Temp”. directory. This occurs even when the files are "packed" in one *pkg,pdf file. In this case, all packaged files are opened by a single click but are still loaded each on different directory and thus the existing links don't work.
Combining all files in a single one, would entail redirecting all links and also result into a huge file manageable only if the "visitor" had an optical fibre connection.
I work with Windows XP professional and with Acrobat Standard 8.1

2) OPENIG TO A PAGE: The switch *.pdf#page=page number doesn’t work on HTML. Any helpful suggestions?

Sorry,
Just trying to understand what you are doing.

You have 15 PDF file connected together by links.

You want to put them onto a webserver and still allow them to work?

Or you want the user to down load them as a package and they don't extract to the same directory?

Thanks for answering.

I need to put my files on a website and want them to work.

Many thanks again. I had already tried that approach, together with the other ones suggested by "Specifying PDF Opening parameters in URL" from the Adobe online help, but none worked.

I have much appreciated your cooperation.
