How can I create inDesign hyperlinks 'portable '?

I need to archive a large catalog of .pdf documents.  To do this, I created to represent the index in a file inDesign CS5.

I then created hypertext links to the individual files in the index.  This set works very well on my computer.

BUT when I move it to a shared server where my Department needs to access it, it stops working.

The folder structure:

> > Desktop

> > > > the project folder

> > > > Indesign index file and result index .pdf at this level

> > > > > > > sub file folder-1

> > > > > > > 20 files this index links file to

I know that the reason is that the file path is looking for my computer/Office/project folder/sub folder.

When I copied the project to a shared server folder the first three levels of this path has changed.

Work around it on that?

Hey, I had the same problem you are having, and that's the answer I got. I have not tried, but it seems appropriate. I would like to know how you do.

Looks like you want to use links relative http in your PDF. Seesign.php http://indesignsecrets.com/making-relative-hyperlinks-to-files-in-inde.
