Jump To Relative URL

We have a series of relative URLs in a Crystal Report Specification that we
are converting to Reporting Services. In Crystal, the relative address to
the PDF is merely the filename.pdf. In Reporting Services, this mangles the
URL when rendered to an Acrobat File causing it to reference the Report
Server. Can a relative URL be Jumped to? If so, how?Kevin,
I'v used a period at the beginning of the file path to reference the
relative path of the document (.pdf) when using the "jump to report" feature
of textbox properties. For example, my relative path is "/report
specs/report 1" (i have a folder that holds the specs in .pdf format out of
view of the client). I put a period at the beginning of that string in
studio and when published, it references the .pdf perfectly in reporting
services. Hope this helps.
