In this version, the base path is defined in a tiddler, mypathtiddler. It
could be defined in a field of a tiddler, but this way is a little more
transparent:
\define pdflink2(name path file page) [ext[$name$|$path$/$file$.pdf
#page=$page$]]
\define pdflink(name file page) <$macrocall $name=pdflink2 name="""$name$"""
path={{mypathtiddler}} file="""$file$""" page="""$page$"""/>
<<pdflink "grammar" "Spanish_Grammar" "2">>
Good luck!
