Hi,

i just found this nice program. So first of all Thanks!

FoxIT does recognice integrated Links like \\IP\share\prog.exe (for example from Word generated Adobe pdfs, shows the 'Hand with finger') but when i click on it, nothing happens. Adobe starts the referred program or share?

You can test it with the attached file, try it with Adobe and then with FoxIT.
Might this be solved soon?

Thanks.

I tested with your sample file with Adobe, after a long time, it says "file could not be opened".
Is that the problem you referred to?

thanks for the fast response.

In my Foxit version (it's the latest) i haven't got a response from foxit for 10 minutes.

The problem is:

I have several pdf installation manuals for our users with integrated Links in it. So that they have to go through the pdf to install the programs. But in Foxit the Link \\IP\share\prog won't work (also not after 10min). In Adobe the prog starts immediately.

If you have this prog locally and set the link in word to c:\prog.exe it will work.
But not if you set a share with \\IP\share\prog, then nothing happens. You can try it with a link in a word file to a share of your own.

Thanks in advance.
