MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Power point presentation with hyperlinks to pdf files
I am adding hyperlinks to my PP presentation, they all work all the time except for links to pdf files. The first time I set up the links, they work. The next time I try it a window says the file cannot be opened. Everything is in the same folder, and I save my work. I followed the directions on the 'awesome web side to add hyperlinks. please help Thanks  Signaturesteve > I am adding hyperlinks to my PP presentation, they all work all the time > except for links to pdf files.

What version of Acrobat or Reader? How exactly do you create the link? Post the url of the instructions you've followed, if you like. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ I am using PP 2003, Adobe reader 8.1.2, and the pop up Microsoft office PP window says, 'cannot open specified file'. I followed directions on website 'awesomebackgrounds.com All of my PP slides are in the same folder as the pdf files. I just tried the presentation again, the hyperlinks to pdf files work on the first two slides, the pdf opens, then beginning with the third slide, the message appears, cannot open file. Hyperlinks work with word files, and other slides. Any help would be great.

Steve You might want to download our free FixLinks demo (http://www.pptools.com/fixlinks/) and use it to run a link report on this presentation ... post that here and we'll have a peek. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ I appreciate your time and effort, but I did find a web site that told me how to do it. PPTools, pptfaq.com. It told me to insert object, create from file, browse, choose pdf, then right click on icon, action settings, click open, and it worked.
