Here's an update since my earlier post:

I actually tried just doing the test hyperlink to the compiled help file as a URL link to a Windows help file (a path on my C drive), then I exported the PDF with hyperlinks. When I click on the link in Acrobat, it launches IE. Then it asks if I want to save the file or open it from its current location (as if I were downloading the file). I opt for the second, and it launches the help viewer (which, I assume is a modified version of IE). Is there any way to do it so I can get it to open the compiled help file immediately in the help viewer, and circumvent the download dialog?

In InDesign file, with the test link highlighted in the hyperlink palette, when I click on the "go to hyperlink destination" button, it immediately launches the help viewer. So why wouldn't it know what to do with the file when I click the link in the PDF, as opposed to the InDesign file?

It sort of works, but not ideally...any ideas?

Thanks
Brian
