RE: Hyperlinks to PDF documents

Clicking Office hyperlinks doesn't open linked PDF files (Acrobat 7.0, Adobe
Reader 7.0 on Windows)


Issue

The linked PDF file doesn't open when you click a hyperlink in a Microsoft
Office document, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.


Details


The PDF file is located on a local machine or a shared hard drive.


Linked PDF files that are located on web servers open as expected.


You use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or Adobe Reader 7.0.

Solution: Install the Acrobat 7.0.1 update or the Adobe Reader 7.0.1 update.


-- If you use Acrobat 7.0 Professional or Standard, choose Help > Check For
Updates Now to install the update. Alternately, you can download the Acrobat
7.0.1 update from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/support/downloads.

-- If you use Adobe Reader 7.0, choose Help > Check For Updates Now to
install the update. Alternately, you can download the latest version from the
Adobe website at www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html .


Background information

Acrobat 7.0 and Adobe Reader 7.0 search only web servers for PDF files that
are linked to Office documents via hyperlinks. Acrobat 7.0.1 and Adobe Reader
7.0.1 search web servers, local drives, and shared drives for linked PDF
files.
