Launch file warning from hyperlink in PDF
Hello, LyXers Two questions about hyperlinking executables. 1. I was hoping to create an annotated family media archive using LyX. A searchable and navigable text in PDF would serve as a guide to the archive. Hyperlinks would point to the media of interest and allow to play it on click. Imbedding this amount of media in PDF was not an option. As an annoying problem, Adobe Reader XI does not play videos until after user's response to a Launch file warning (see an attached sample). Recent fixes in the Adobe security notwithstanding, the Adobe Help seems to imply that it should be possible to suppress the warning. But no tried combination of Reader's preferences (Multimedia(legacy) | Multimedia Trust (legacy) | Security | Security (Enhanced) | Trust Manager ) would allow to circumvent the warning. Are there additional PDF options which one could specify in LyX so as to suppress the warning? Platform: LyX 2.0.5/MiKTeX 2.9/Win 7 2. Similarly, but more generally, could one hyperlink an aribitrary local executable (say, of my own making) and pass parameters to it? Adobe help seems to imply that, beyond the 3 choices offered by LyX (Web | eMail | File ), there also exist so called Custom Links. Could the custom hyperlinks be defined through LyX? If so, could they be used (how?) for the above purpose of invoking ANY executable/script? Thank you for your time

So, here are the missing details for the previous post. 1.1. In Insert Hyperlink dialog, I entered: - Target: run:C:/Users/Public/Videos/Sample Videos/Wildlife.wmv - Link type: Web 1.2. Adobe Reader's Launch File Warning: The file and it's viewer application are set to be launched by this PDF file. The file may contain programs, macros, or viruses that could potentially harm your computer. Only opern the file if you are sure it is safe. If this file was placed by a trusted person or program, you can click Open to view the file. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe Open | Do Not Open 1.3. Note that the video in question is a demo file normally available on any Windows platform (comes with a standard distribution). Regards, Leonid
