Do you know how to set a link in Adobe so that it opens another Adobe file and goes to a specific page in document?

My Product Information:

Yes. Create the link using the Go to a page view action on a button, link, bookmark, etc. The Create Go to View dialog box opens. Leave the dialog open and use File > Open to open the file you want to link to. Navigate to the page you want as the target destination and click Set Link in the Create Go to Page View.When you return to your link, click the link action and click Edit. You can set the Window Preferences after you create the link.

Is there any simple way of making this a relative link rather than a file path?
I am working on a number of PDF's on a hard drive and will ultimately be publishing them on CD where a specific file path won't work.
