Hi, all,
I'm new to LyX and found the hyperlink function fascinating
but puzzling. I've read through the archive but didn't find the
answer I need. Here is my problem:
I try to put in my pdf notes (generated by LyX) some hyperlinks
to other pdf papers in the same directory. So I just use the
hyperref package and then use the Insert->URL function. I put, e.g.,
file://file.pdf in URL and filename in NAME
but after clicking export->pdf(pdflatex), the following happen:
1. both "filename" and "file://file.pdf" is shown in my pdf file,
and only the latter is made a hyperlink. Checking the "HTML type"
box didn't change anything.
2. when I click the link, it doesn't work, said the file couldn't
be found. So the pdf hyperlink won't work with relative path?
that would be very disappointing!
3. I changed the path to the absolute one,i.e.,
file:///home/blah/blah/file.pdf,
the link worked on that particular machine. But when I access
my file remotely ( invoking acroread via ssh ), the link again
wouldn't work. :-(
I would be very grateful if any one can enlighten me on these questions!
Best,
Xinwei Yu
