Hyperlinking to PDFs   
Hyperlinking files into Word. Link to the JPEG file works fine, but a link to 
a PDF in the same directory as the JPEG receives the error message: 

Cannot open the specified file.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Hyperlinking to PDFs   
Hi Coach,

What version of Word are you using and where are the files located (local hard drive, network server/mapped drive)?

What app is associated with the .PDF file type (Word, for example cannot open a PDF file).

If you use Alt+F9 to toggle display of the hyperlink field code, what does the Hyperlink field show for both the link that works and
the one that doesn't?

Re: Hyperlinking to PDFs   
Bob,

Word 2003, and the files are stored locally but were downloaded from a 
database. Acrobat is associated with the .pdf.

Found the problem last night. For whatever reason, the downloaded files had 
"[1]" inserted in the file name. This was converted to "%5b1%5d" in the 
hyperlink. I removed "[1]" from the file name and redid the hyperlink; now it 
opens just the way it should. 

I appreciate you taking your time on this.

Regards,
Jim
