Hi there
How are you linking them?
If you are trying to link from Baggage by using drag and drop, you now have to press and hold the Shift key when you drag the file to create the link.
What are you doing that infers the link isn't working?
If you are testing links locally, it's a side effect of the Mark Of The Web (MOTW). MOTW will inhibit links to PDF and not allow them to work when you test from the local PC but the links will work when you deploy to a server.
Cheers... Rick

Thanks for the quick reply!
Why do these links go into baggage files rather than just link? Is this
something different in version 8?
Seems like its an extra step!

Hi there
Of course, without seeing your files and your structure first hand, all I can really do is speculate. Things should have been no different between versions with this particular aspect. But obviously *SOMETHING* changed. And certainly if you weren't performing the step before it will seem to be a bit of an extra step.
However, I note that your reply doesn't clearly state whether the issue is actually resolved or not. Is it? If so, which situation did you have? I gave answers that covered a couple of issues.
Cheers... Rick

We are working on converting our project from 6 to 8. Robo 6 has been
taken off pc and Robo 8 has been installed. We are working off a server
but downloading to pc the project to work on each day. We are making
folders and taking topic files and copy/paste because import did not work
(perhaps because of the two versions.) Anyway we could not get links to
work and that is what prompted my question in the beginning and links were
ending up in the baggage files.
We have tried the shift/drag but don't know if its working yet since we are
not ready to do any publishing because our test server for 8 has not been
converted yet....so we don't know if the links will work or not.
Thanks for your assistance...are we going down the right path for our
conversion?
