Linking to a merged pdf from External Resources

Post by Bergsma »

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to create a link from a topic to a PDF file added via External Resources?
The PDF's are in my topics list and in my TOC.
Now I need links or references to the PDF's as in attached image.

If there is a solution for this, pleas let me know. Also if there isn't any.

Regards,
André Bergsma

Yes it can be done

Just insert a hyperlink to the "File in Project", pointing to the folder where that pdf lives

In my example it looks like this, with all my pdfs in a folder called pdfs:

Code: Select all

<a href="../pdfs/VTAP_Commands_Reference_Guide.pdf">VTAP&#160;Settings and Commands Reference</a>

Thanks,

I understand what you describe. However I cannot open your attached image.
I will try it and come back with the result later.
