To make sure I have this right:
You create a new HTML file as below and include a hyperlink to it in your PPT
instead of linking directly to the PDF.
VERY slick.
Thanks for posting this.

I just created a workaround, because we are experiencing the same problem.
Create an HTML file that has a redirect to the PDF. Within the HTML file
there is a javascript that is triggered by the page load. The JavaScript
will load the PDF file in the current browser window. This workaround allows
you to open a new window outside the presentation and the PowerPoint/Reader
issue.
Here is the code:
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
redirTime = "100";
redirURL = "BB8151.pdf";
function redirFile() { self.setTimeout("self.location.href =
redirURL;",redirTime); }
// End -->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad=redirFile()>
</body>
Hope this helps!

We've recently upgraded to 2003 and I have created hyperlinks in
presentations in 2000 and had no problems. Now, when I create a new hyperlink
and link to a PDF file located in the same folder as the presentation,
Powerpoint isn't launching Adobe or the file automaticly. Only if the PDF
file is already open does Powerpoint bring it to the active window. Is anyone
else having this problem?
