General ⇒ Cross platform file linking

[danielstrong52]

Hi forum,

I am on Linux, and have been making a pdf using pdfLaTeX which is a list of links to other pdfs. I have been creating the links using hyperref, like this:

\href{../filedir/file.pdf}{Link}

The problem is that I want to distribute the files as an archive to some friends who run windows, and, unsurprisingly I guess, the link doesn't work on Windows (it does on OSX, due to the practically identical Unix-based filesystem). Is there any way to get around this?
