  Hi,
  
  I’m stuck with a little problem.
  
  I know how to embed a pdf in a pdf; and create hyperlinks in pdf and in InDesign.
  
  But the problem is that I want to open a PDF which is embeded in the main PDF file using a hyperlink.
  
  Moreover, is there any way I can do the same from within InDesign, i.e.
  a) embed a PDF in InDesign;
  b) hyperlink it;
  c) exporting a PDF (hyperlinks enabled) from InDesign
  d) allowing the embedded pdf to export along with the newly exported PDF (It will be similar to: creating a pdf and then embedding another pdf)
  
  So, when a user clicks the hyperlink in the PDF, he will be able to open the embedded pdf from within.
  
  Please advise.

  PS:
  
  So whenever a user clicks on the hyperlink in the main PDF file, the attached PDF should opens up.

  It is a great idea, but no, InDesign cannot do this.

  Thanks David for reverting on this. Is there any way I can achieve the same in the PDF itself.
  
  i.e.
  I’ll attach/embed another PDF in the main PDF
  create a hyperlink in the main PDF and action it to open the attached pdf in a new window.
  
  any ideas?
  
  how about a script? if there is any :)
