Hi All;
I am trying to connect a link in a help file to a specific location in a
pdf file. For instance, if the user clicks on a topic or a hotpoint in a
standard WinHelp file, I would like to have a .pdf file opened up to a
specified location.
I have looked around in the archives, in a multitude of web sites, etc., and
have found nothing on this. I have found information on calling a .pdf from
an HTML file, but nothing on a standard WinHelp file. Are the procedures
the same for WinHelp as they are for HTML help?
Does anyone know how to do this or where I could find out this information?
Thanks.
