I am distributing a PowerPoint 2003 show on CD using the package to CD
function. In the show I hyperlink to a PDF file users need to be able to
print. The pdf file sometimes, but not always, comes up in the background
rather than foreground so it is hidden from view. User thinks the hyperlink
has not worked when in fact the pdf file has opened but just can't be seen.
If the user clicks on the hyperlink a second time, then the pdf file comes up
in the foreground. Also, if the user hits "esc" then the powerpoint show
closes and the pdf file is visible.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and a fix? Someone said the
problem is that when another program is already open the Windows opens the
hyperlink file in the background. But Adobe Acrobat Reader is not running
when I hyperlink to it.
Strange.
