Re: linking from Frame(PDF) to external files

You should also consider what the condtions will be like on the user's end.  On 
my systems, a PDF that attempted to link to other, non-PDF files would be 
throwing up security dialogs left and right, because my security is configured 
to ask before allowing a file to open another file (most of the time, my answer 
is "no," and then I search out the file and do a virus scan on it before opening 
its associated app manually to look at the file).  As a user, I want PDFs to be 
self-contained and easily portable; discovering that a PDF I copied to my laptop 
to read while away from its product required additional files to use would put 
me in a very bad mood about the product it was associated with.
