Interactive PDF_.exe file

Hi,
 
Can I make an expansive file/auto execute file from a interactive PDF?
 
I have made a presentation in an interactive PDF with several links that are stored in different folders (subfolders). The PDF file and these folders are stored in the same folder. The client recognizes and open all the links. He will distribute this presentation in pen drives and don't want to store the images in a server. But now he wants an auto expansive file so that the users don't see these folders. It can't be a swf or flash file. It has to be a PDF file.
 
If it is not possible make an .exe file, there is a way to hide these folders without loosing the link? I work on a Mac, but, if necessary, could do this part of the job in a PC.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.4.3, Macintosh

How about attaching the supporting files to the PDF. Look up PDF file attachments.

Its is a good way out, but I have a spread with about 200 links and the page would be polluted with all the commments

Thanks

You do not need to use the File Attachment annotation. File attachments can be added into the "File Attachment" navigation pain directly. In fact, in Acrobat 10 you can create folders so that the file attachments look, and act, just like a file system.
