Insert link to pdf file in 'WebHelp' project

Unread post by David Pybus »

I need to display a pdf file in the current window of the H&M document. The link works correctly if I publish as 'CHM', but not if I publish as 'WebHelp' (File not found). How do I set the relative path? - Even if I put the target pdf file in the project's root directory, the link does not work.

Hi David,

You need to put the PDF file in the Baggage Files section.

...or upload the PDF file to your web server yourself, to the same folder as your WebHelp files. :)
