Hi

I am trying to create links from my pdf to Word and Excel files that are saved on a shared folder. I have created links via the following way:

* Create link
* Open a file and then browsing to the location of the file which is saved on a shared drive

I am able to create a link but it appears that the word and excel files that I am linking to are launching on my C drive (the word and excel files are not saved in this location). When I go back to "Link properties" to check the path the file is linking to the right location ie not the C Drive.

When someone else tries to view the pdf from a different machine they are not able to link to any word or excel files as the pdf is trying to link to documents on the C drive.

Does anyone know why this could be happening?
