I am writing a large doc with FM (FM 8.0p277), several appendix files, 100+pages, etc. I am using hypertext to link external PNG images with the document. This is working just fine (message openfile:filename.ext). Then, I print as PDF doc, and still keeping the PNGs and the newly created PDF in same folder- the hypertext link still works fine.

My question is: this document will be released to clients, whom we can't necessarily make keep all elements in the same folder. Is there a way, when I generate the PDF of the final version, for the hypertext link to work if things are moved out of the same folder? I'm guessing not, but I thought if anyone would know, it would be in this forum...

Thx
Adriana
