Hello,

I'm outputting .chm and .pdf files from .xml files (DocBook).
What DocBook element(s) would I use to link to an existing PDF file? The
file may or may not be in the same directory as the file from which I
want to link.

Thanks in advance.

<ulink url="file:///C:/foo/bar/baz.pdf">My PDF link title</ulink>

seems to work. This yields <a href="file:///C:/foo/bar/baz.pdf">My PDF
link title</a> in the generated HTML.
The PDF opens in the CHM detail window if PDF files are associated with a
PDF viewer in MS Windows. If the PDF is in the same directory (and e.g. the
pdf filename is the displayed link), then for example:

<ulink url="baz.pdf"/>
