Thanks! I'll use that Chrome setting for now on. It means an extra
click once a pdf is downloaded, but I'm used to that for word/excel etc.
And then I get the benefit of the "real" pdf search and other features.
But for the local-disk IBM pdf's: the pretend download and multiple
copies (like you say), and the fact that the book-to-book links won't
work, make me think I'll just stay with the Shortcut method for now.

Hi Tom.
You can change the way Chrome handles PDFs via
chrome://settings/content/pdfDocuments?search=pdf
index.html will get you to the file you want, but since you're going through a
web browser, clicking the link, at least in Chrome, will cause the file to be
copied to your download folder before it's opened--even if it's already there.
If you open the same manual 3 times, you end up with 3 copies of it in your
folder.
