Relative link in a pdf from a SW drawing...

Feb 22, 2005 1 Replies

Hello to all,



I need to create a *relative* link in a .pdf generated from a SW drawing... (Using SW2004 sp3.0)



For example, in a note in a drawing, I add the link: page.htm (with the option: "Use relative path for hyperlink" checked).



I then save the drawing in .pdf format (with Bluebeam) and upload it on our sharepoint server (a kind of intranet), in the 'folder': http://Sharepoint/Folder/ However, the link isn't perfectly relative anymore... The prefix: file://c:\\ seems to have been added in the link, either by SolidWorks or by the pdf converter...



Since my target file is located in: http://SharePoint/Folder/page.htm it is obvious I can't access it...



Any workaround? (I would much rather avoid modifying the links using Adobe Acrobat, because a) We have a lot of links b) Each time a revise the SolidWorks file and generate a new pdf, I would have to manually correct the adress.



Thanks for your help.
