Besides what Todd explained you can also simply put the html file in

\href{index.html}{name}
I tried that Uwe, but it didn't work. However, I *think* I might have
found a vile work-around by editing the URL in the PDF using a binary
file editor, as follows:
./Subtype/Link/A/Type/Action/S/URI/URI(./front_page.htm).
endobj.20 0 obj ./D [18
Where the target is 'front_page.htm'. I have to test the CDs on a couple
of other machines before I can be sure.
Thanks to all,
Nick.
what did the line in the PDF look like before you edited it?
putting
./front_page.htm
in a LyX URL box should have generated the pdf line you have above.
Output from the attached lyx file:
The ERT generates:
in LaTeX
\href{./test/index.html}{ERT}
in PDF
/Subtype/Link/A/Type/Action/S/URI/URI(file:./test/index.html)
the LyX box generates
in LaTeX
\url{./test/index.html}
in PDF
/Subtype/Link/A/Type/Action/S/URI/URI(./test/index.html)
at least on my Linux box.
So I think you should be able to get where you want to go by using LyX's
internal URL insert.

It is annoying that I have to use xpdf to test this as evince does not follow
links in pdf docs.

Thanks again for this Uwe, now when I click on the link in the PDF,

is that the drive letter (F:) is hard wired into the link. However, what
I want to do is put the PDF file containing the link and the HTML file
at which the link points onto a CD, but it doesn't seem possible to use
relative paths in PDF links. On the CD the link in the PDF will always
point at drive F: which isn't where the HTML file will be (unless by
some happy chance all of the people to whom I distribute the CD have
drive F: as their CD-ROM drives).
I know this isn't strictly a LyX problem, but any hints on a possible
solution would be appreciated. I'm very reluctant to abandon the idea of
using a LyX-generated PDF as a 'front page' for my project (it's
genealogy, for the family).

LyX, pdflatex and local hyperlinks
Using LyX, pdflatex and the hyperref package I'm trying to produce a PDF
that contains links to locally-stored files. What I want to do is to
click on a link to an HTML file in the PDF and have it start my browser
(Firefox) and then load the required HTML file.
The following, in ERT, almost works, but clicking on the link produced
in the PDF starts three instances of Firefox, only one of which shows
the required HTML file.
\href{file://F:/Directory1/Directory2/index.html}{name}
This is a menace, can anyone suggest better ways of inserting links to
local HTML files in PDFs? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
