I created a presentation with several links to PDFs. I put the presentation
and the PDFs into a single folder. All worked. I burned the folder onto a
CD. I doublechecked the links -- all were re-addressed" to the CD location.
I sent the CD to someone else. When they open the presentation, none of the
links work. (She's on a Mac, I'm on a PC.)

Does anyone know why the links would break?
