Add and test links to documents
Links to documents on Connect Pro Server or a third-party system are a type of attachment. For example, you could
create a link from text on a PowerPoint slide to a SWF file.
When linking to a document, it may be necessary to copy the document to the resource folder for the document to
appear properly in the presentation.
1
In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file).
2
Navigate to the slide to which you want to add the link.
3
Select the text you want to use as the link.
4
From the Insert menu, select Hyperlink.
5
Navigate to the file to which you want to link and click OK.
6
To test the link, preview the presentation by selecting Adobe Presenter
>
Publish.
7
Select My Computer.
8
Select View Output After Publishing.
9
Click Publish. (If a message appears stating that all files will be deleted, click Yes. Each time you generate your
presentation, the files in your current output folder are deleted and replaced by the newly generated files.)
10
Navigate to the slide containing the link and click the link.
11
If a message appears stating something like “Cannot find ‘file://C:\Documents and Settings\jsmith\My
Documents\My Adobe Presentations\PresentationName\data\resources\sample.swf,” copy the file to the resources
folder (located by default at C:\My Documents\My Adobe Presentations\[presentation name]\data\resources).
Note the path specified in the message and close the presentation in your web browser.
12
Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the current location of the file.
13
Right-click the file and select Copy.
14
Navigate to the location specified in the error message (for example, an address like the example in step
10).
15
Right-click the resources folder and select Paste.
16
Follow steps 6–8 to preview the presentation and test the link again.
Creating links to files
If you are creating links from a presentation to a file and the link path is relative to the location of the presentation,
you may need to take a few steps to ensure that the links work properly. This issue occurs because of the method
PowerPoint uses to manage relative links. (PowerPoint does, however, resolve all links to files in the same drive as
the PPT or PPTX file.)
1
In Windows Explorer, locate the folder containing the presentation PPT or PPTX file (for example, C:\Folder
A\test.ppt).
2
Create a subfolder under the folder containing the presentation PPT or PPTX file (for example, C:\Folder
A\Links).
3
Copy all files that will be linked to from within the presentation to the new subfolder.
4
Create the links in the presentation to the files.
5
Publish the presentation. Note the location of the published content folder (for example C:\Preso).
