When linking something in Acrobat is there a way to generalize a bookmark to open another document.

For example if I open Main.pdf and it is in C:\Program Files\Adobe\ and click a link that goes to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Test\Test.pdf is there a way to make that link just look in Test\Test.pdf in case I move those files later?

It is called relative linking. If you are authoring in Word just remove the link through the common directory. So, in the Main.PDF the link field would look like:

Test\Test.pdf

Thank you but the problem is I'm not editing in word. I am creating a link in Acrobat from 1 PDF to another and it doesnt give me the option to remove the information C:\Program Files\Adobe\. It just makes me open another file and saves its location.
