Embedded link changes when downloaded

Hopefully someone can confirm/deny this.

I have a PDF document on a webserver(that I did not create).

When viewed in the browser with Acrobat, the links are like:

http://blah.com/blah.txt

When viewed outside the browser or downloaded and viewed, the links look like:

file://C/username/Desktop/blah.txt

I'm guessing that this is caused by the way the document was created, however, I haven't played with creating PDF documents much, so I'm looking for someone who can confirm/deny my guess and elaborate on why if they can.

Thanks very much.
