pdfmark, external file link

  • Follow


thanks to an earlier post by kevin delaney, i was able to create a pdf
file with links to another pdf file (at a specific page in that file).
The links are "relative links" to a file in the same directory. The
sas code for the link is follows.

This all worked great for a couple of months until recently when a new
user tried the link. His acrobat reader / browser (ie) appends the pdf
file name to the end of the "url" so the address looks like
j://main/blah.pdf/CVF345.pdf#bb9. Of course the browser cannot find
the file. All other users have acrobat readers / browsers that replace
the current file name with the linked file name as follows:
j://main/CVF345.pdf#bb9 and the link works great.

So i tried replacing the relative link with an absolute link but that
does not work. I am not sure why but the browser wants to retain the
current directory and then concatenate the absolute url address
(making an extra long convulted looking address), so the browser
cannot find this url address either.

are there any ideas on how to fix this? 


ods ps pdfmark file="CV_form345sum.ps" style=styles.mtcp;
customr2=compress('^S={url=' || '27'x || CVF345.pdf#bb' || seqnum  ||
'27'x || '}') || customr;
proc print;
var customer2 account nacis use;
run;
