link from PDF output to downloadable zip file?

[mattf]

I have tried a number of ways to form a link in my PDF output that will download -- or even open -- an external zipped folder. I am having no success. Can someone tell me how to form such a hyperlink? I hear the following should work but it does not:

Code: Select all

<a href="file:///C:/Users/matt/Desktop/link_test_files.zip/" >javascript files here</a>

Also this:

Code: Select all

<a href="file:///C:\Users\matt\Desktop\link_test_files.zip\" >javascript files here</a>

I've also included the zipped folder in the project and linked to it as "File in Project". No luck.

How do we do this?

Thanks,
-Matt
