URL file://

Hi,

Am trying to use URL file://path\fileName.pdf in the object text. Works OK if there are no spaces in the path, but not if there are spaces. I tried replacing the spaces with %20 but this doesn't work either ( using %20 for spaces in the file name is OK ).

Anybody any ideas ?

You can use MS-DOS compatible (short) file names in 8.3 format (see here for a description. A file in "C:\Documents and Settings\Your name\Desktop\foo bar.txt" would then be references with file://C:\Docume~1\Yourna~1\Deskto~1\foobar~1.txt
