Hyperlinks to documents.

Post by WalidSaladin »

I'm trying to insert a hyperlink in LyX to a pdf document, but keep getting the following exception returned by Adobe Reader when I try to open the link it:

"There was an error trying to open this document. The file cannot be found."

I searched the User's Guide, wiki.lyx, and this forum, but could not find an answer to this problem.

In the hyperlink dialog box I have the following entered:
Target: G:\Lyx\nomencl_package_description.pdf
Name: guide to nomenclature package
Link type: file

How do I solve this problem?

No worries. I found the answer to my problem here: http://latex-community.org/forum/viewto ... 19&t=12262.

However, I set the link type to "file".
