I am having ongoing hyperlinking issues for a project that I am creating on a hard drive.
Basically, I am wanting to know why the hyperlinks I have created are not remaining linked to the hard drive no matter the drive it is inserted into (e, l, k, etc.).
In more detail, all the files (movie/audio/word/pdf) for the project are held in folders on the hard drive.
I have created summaries, lists and a table of contents via word documents and hyperlinked them to relevant files held in the folders on the hard drive. The hard drive was inserted into a computer which reads from the (e
drive (Hyperlinks work). The hyperlink path starts (e...
I have then combined the documents into one PDF via adobe acrobat. To do this the hard drive is inserted into another computer and reads from the (l drive, as the different computer has the adobe acrobat program on it. I do not alter the hyperlinks or document so my thinking is that the hyperlink path should remain the same (starting (e).
Once the files are combined into one pdf in arcobat I remove the hard drive and insert it into the computer I orginally used, very few of the hyperlinks work and the error pops up ‘cannot find specified file’. The files it is looking for (hyperlink path) now start (l. As the hard drive is reading from the (e drive it cannot find the files. Does combining the files in acrobat & converting to a PDF change the hyperlink path?
I have about 500 hyperlinks throughout the project and am getting frustrated with it not working. I know there would be an easier way. Should I be using relative hyperlinks. Would that not matter as the hyperlink base would have start with (e on the one comptuer then (l on the arcobat computer.
The issue is I will be handing the project out on usb’s which will normally read from the (e drive. So if I do the hyperlinking from the acrobat computer the hyperlink path will always start (l and will not work once transferred to the usbs which will
read from the (e drive. I have spoken to my IT team and they can’t get my hard drive to read from the (e drive on the arcobat team.
I know this is a lengthy question, and most likely with a simple answer, however, I’ve researched and cannot find the answer. Thanks.
