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!
