1. Re: Can a pdf link to an external file
George_Johnson Sep 22, 2011 9:52 PM (in response to onefiftymph)Just prove it to him. Change the file (but keep a copy in case some magic is at work) and demonstrate that any existing PDFs are not affected.

try67 Sep 23, 2011 1:13 AM (in response to onefiftymph)I think you won the bet... PDF files are not linked to the EPS files used to create them, just like when you create a Word document from a text file the word document doesn't change if you later on edit the text file.

3. Re: Can a pdf link to an external file
onefiftymph Sep 23, 2011 10:00 AM (in response to onefiftymph)Thanks for the input guys.
I've been making pdf's well over 10 years but use only a narrow set of pdf types. I know there is a range of options and things you can do with pdf's that I've never done. This co-worker is actually my boss and he's adamant this has happened to him, pissed that I'm doubting him and won't let me improve a workflow system because of it.
Maybe there is (or was in the past) some type of pdf that can link to an external file and can be changed by revising the external file?

Never heard of such a thing.
