"file doesn't exist" !?

[inte@adobeforums.com]

Just made several links to a document - works fine on Mac, but the same document displays the following error on Win XP after clicking the link:

"The specified file "MAIN/2005FILES/FILENAMEGOESHERE.PDF" does not exist."

The file is there, and it works fine on the Mac - does Win limit subdirectories to one or something like that? Why would this be occuring?

Try and keep the file naming to 8 characters as a maximum .pdf

I found the problem ... bizarre, but here it is:

If I burn a CD of the files on the Mac & use it in the PC - the issue described above occurs.
If I copy the files on the Mac to a USB drive & use them on the PC they work fine.

(!?)

The "solution" is to simply copy all the files on to a drive (not a CD), then burn that disk on the PC. I could hypothetically understand how the CD might not work if burned on the Mac, but to have certain links not work ...?

Try using "Toast" to burn your CD's instead of the Mac utility.
