[libreoffice-users] Hyperlink problem in a PDF file created by Writer

2011-04-13 Thread Ken Springer

Windows XP Home, all updated.
Libre Office 3.3.2, tag LibreOffice 3.3.2.2
Adobe Reader 10.0.1


I've created a Writer document that contains a hyperlink to a directory 
on the hard drive.  I want the hyperlink to open the directory when you 
click on it.


When the hyperlink in the .odt file is clicked on from within Writer, 
the directory window opens as I wish.


In Reader, when I click on the link, I get a message that Reader either 
doesn't allow the file to be accessed or it can't find the file.  That 
seems to be dependent on the format of the link in LO.


My first attempt at this caused Firefox to open an FTP directory listing 
showing the files.  That, at the core, is what I want, but I want the 
listing in a folder window on the desktop.


At this point, when I hover the cursor over the hyperlink in Reader, the 
link shows D| instead of D: that I would expect.


What am I missing?  Is this an LO issue with PDF export, or an Adobe 
Reader issue?

What setting are you using for the export?  How exactly are you 
exporting to PDF?
