I'm with a big problem here, at least for me.

I have to create some links to .DOC; .PPT; .XLS and .PDF files in a single .PDF file.

The problem is:
I'll have to send to users through email in a zipped file. I tried attachments on the PDF, but I don't know how make the link work opening the non PDF files. I tried using the weblink but it runs the IE fisrt and my boss didn't like(great argument).

So, is there another way?

PS: Sorry for the bad English.

Hi --

You don't have to zip files, or even add links. Instead, add all the files to the PDF file as attachments. You can use the Attach a File as a Comment command to specify where each file is to be accessed.

When you send the pdf file, all the associated attachments are included, and the recipient can open them from within the PDF file.
