I have some pdf's that link to each other. All works well if you use "File>Open" in acrobat to open the file - regardless of the path to the specific files (so it appears the docs have relative links not absolute). When using a browser to launch and view one of the documents in acrobat, the browser opens the pdf as a temp file & the links no longer work - as all files would then need to be in the tmp directory.

Has anybody had this & found a workaround.

I've tried a linux version with the -tempFile argument, but this didn't seem to do what the adobe ReadMe file indicated it would.Even if it did do what it is supposed to I'm not sure it'd fix the linking problem.
Thanks in advance

Reading the readme in the linux version indicates that changing mailcap to"application/pdf; acroread -tempFile %s" may be of assistance, but
