Relative link in a pdf from a SW drawing...

    Hello to all,

    I need to create a *relative* link in a .pdf generated from a SW drawing...
    (Using SW2004 sp3.0)

    For example, in a note in a drawing, I add the link:
    page.htm
    (with the option: "Use relative path for hyperlink" checked).

    I then save the drawing in .pdf format (with Bluebeam) and upload it on our
    sharepoint server (a kind of intranet), in the 'folder':
    http://Sharepoint/Folder/

    However, the link isn't perfectly relative anymore... The prefix:
    file://c:\\
    seems to have been added in the link, either by SolidWorks or by the pdf
    converter...

    Since my target file is located in:
    http://SharePoint/Folder/page.htm

    it is obvious I can't access it...

    Any workaround? (I would much rather avoid modifying the links using Adobe
    Acrobat, because
    a) We have a lot of links
    b) Each time a revise the SolidWorks file and generate a new pdf, I would
    have to manually correct the adress.

    Thanks for your help.
