Hi,

Is it possible to add a link to a Document that will open a PDF file that is held in specific folder? Would anyone advise how to do this?

Thanks

Look at the launch in the API guide you should be able to create a macro to do it

set app= ActiveDocument.GetApplication
app.Launch "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader","C:\Myfiles\test.pdf"

This is correct.
There is anoter way, without macro. Use action Launch in the External group, and specify what application and file you want to open.
