Hi, all,

    I'm new to LyX and found the hyperlink function fascinating
but puzzling. I've read through the archive but didn't find the
answer I need. Here is my problem:

    I try to put in my pdf notes (generated by LyX) some hyperlinks
to other pdf papers in the same directory. So I just use the
hyperref package and then use the Insert->URL function. I put, e.g.,

file://file.pdf in URL and filename in NAME

but after clicking export->pdf(pdflatex), the following happen:

1. both "filename" and "file://file.pdf" is shown in my pdf file,
    and only the latter is made a hyperlink. Checking the "HTML type"
    box didn't change anything.
2. when I click the link, it doesn't work, said the file couldn't
    be found. So the pdf hyperlink won't work with relative path?
    that would be very disappointing!
3. I changed the path to the absolute one,i.e., 
    file:///home/blah/blah/file.pdf,
    the link worked on that particular machine. But when I access
    my file remotely ( invoking acroread via ssh ), the link again
    wouldn't work. :-(

I would be very grateful if any one can enlighten me on these questions!

Best,
Xinwei Yu
