I tested these steps: 1. Open Writer 2. Tools > Options > Load/Save > General > both "Save URLs" options are checked (which are the default values) 3. Link some text using Insert > Hyperlink > Internet > Document > Path: ./target.pdf Result 1: the link does not work when used inside Writer. Message is: "./target.pdf" cannot be passed to an external application to open it (e.g., it might not be an absolute URL, or might denote no existing file). Similar issues: - https://superuser.com/questions/1675026/libreoffice-relative-link-to-another-docx-on-local-system-not-working - https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/hyperlink-failure-local-link-cannot-be-passed-to-an-external-application-to-open-it/67822 - bug 118594 The issue is that entering the path by hand won't work, but using the file picker button next to the field will work. It _will_ display an absolute path in the dialog, which looks wrong according to the settings we have in Options, but the path is actually saved in relative form in the file. You can confirm that by then exporting the PDF: 4. Export PDF to the same directory as the target 5. Open PDF and test the link: works 6. Move file together to a different directory, test again: works Essentially, the root issue is that the dialog displays an absolute path when we chose to store relative paths, leading to users trying alternative methods like entering the path by hand. So I am marking as duplicate of bug 128216. I hope that makes sense, and that using my steps above (using "Document" instead of "Internet" in the Hyperlink dialog), you can make it work!
