HTML Help and linking to PDFs

A client is building help with Flare 5. They are linking the HTML-based help
(webhelp) to PDFs, opening the PDF in a popup window.



When they preview the help, it works. When they build and test locally, the
PDFs don't open and no message appears. In the bottom of the browser window,
they see a Javascript void message.



Versions 8 and 9 of Acrobat. IE 7 and 8.



Thoughts? Ideas?
