Hyperlink on an exe animation from pdf

Post by Lamp73 »

Hi LaTeX experts,
During a presentation I would like to call the IrfanView generated animation FILM.exe via \href from LECTURE.pdf.

That functions from notepad++ by the link file:///G:/.../.../FILM.exe without problem. My attempts to produce a functional link in LECTURE.tex all fail (cp. code below).

Please help me with a functional formulation of the hyperlink on FILM.exe in the tex-file.

Code: Select all

%LECTURE.tex
\documentclass[12pt, page number]{beamer}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{pdfsync}
\begin{document}

\href{http://www.google.de}{http://www.google.de  o.k.}\\
\href{PDF.pdf}{PDF.pdf o.k.}\\
\href{TXT.txt}{TXT.txt FAILING 1}\\
\href{file:///G:/.../.../FILM.exe}FAILING 2}\\
\href{G:/.../.../FILM.exe}{FAILING 3}\\
\href{FILM.exe}{FAILING 4}\\

\end{document}
All named files are in the same folder. The compilation of LECTURE.tex on my Windows machine generates no errors.

Kind regards
Lamp73
