A generic link to an external PDF can be created using the built-in FM hypertext marker: message openfile path/filename.pdf The target PDF will open at the default opening page; "new window" or "same window" applied according to the local Acrobat/Reader preference. Other hypertext markers (gotolink/gotopage or openlink/openpage) can be translated to a similar link upon conversion to PDF, but link validity/success may be dependent on other factors (e.g. authoring application for the target PDF being FM, specific destinations/page numbers present, chapter vs. book file issues).
