Is there an equivalent of META REFRESH in PDF?

PDF files renamed - broken links?

[dobedani]

Hi there,

In HTML, we have the following:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="5; URL=http://www.mysite.com/mypage.htm">

Can be practical, e.g. if you don't want to do much scripting on the serverside. I need this because the PDF files on one of my sites had to be given different names, but it is important that references / citations outside on the web to those PDF files will not cause 404 errors!

Does anyone know of an equivalent of this in PDF? And if there is an equivalent: how do I create a PDF that redirects esp. the Adobe plug-in automatically to another URL? TIA

Kind regards,
Dobedani

pdf is a static file made for download hence no refresh possible.
If you are using an IFrame with a .exe to display the pdf make the refresh html meta.

You could possibly make all the links go to pages (or a redirect script) on your site, so you can centrally manage the links and update them when they change.
