I have seen many posts on this on the internet, but I haven't been able to get a difinitive answer. Is it possible to have a list of links to local files in a pdf form?

I have gotten it to work when using the a hyperlink and the "file://" protocol and when using internet explorer. I essentially put C:/myfolder/ into a textfield and then convert it to a rich text hyperlink with a file:// appended to the front. The link goes through internet explorer and then opens the file or folder in windows explorer, but it doesn't seem to always work and has issues with links with spaces.

I want to essentially have a pdf form with important links that can be sent to somebody else on the network to have access to.

Does anybody have a good way of making this work without going though a browser and the file:// protocol (I understand that there are security concerns with this)? and if not is there a clean way to get it to work though a browser other than internet explorer?

Thanks!
