I assume that you are not hosting your own web site, or it would have been
obvious that this is not possible. Web site users will not (or should not)
have access to files on your hard drive. The better plan is to upload the
PDF file to your web site and insert a link to that. This is easy to do with
FrontPage (create a folder on your web site and put the file in that
folder), but has nothing whatever to do with Word.

This is easy to do with FrontPage (create a folder on your web site
and put the file in that folder), but has nothing whatever to do with
Word.

Although Graham is correct about this being a non-Word issue, the path
requirement is something that Word creators of html are frequently faced
with resulting red x's due to the same invalid paths.

The soundest solution is to duplicate your website folder structure on
your local machine (conputer) and do not link to files outside (such as My
Documents) that duplicated file structure.

This is not a word issue, and should be posted in the FP newsgroups.

With your local FP web open, File | Import the pdf into a folder in your
web. The, simple create a link to it on the page.
