When loading the hyperref package i use the option baseurl=./ to indicate the actual location of the PDF document: \usepackage[ pdftex , baseurl=./ ]{hyperref} Inside the document i make a reference to an external file: \href{movies/map.m1v} % link to movie {movie {\tt map.m1v}.} % text to appear The examples A1 and A2 on http://www.meteo.physik.uni-muenchen.de/~hase/banner/texte/movie_example/ show the result. Look at the links in the caption of figure 1. A2 was created with pdfTeX : The link is expanded into 'movies/map.m1v' and does not work. If you download the pdf to your local machine and open it, the link will be expanded into 'movies/map.m1v' Accordingly the baseurl=./ is ignored. A1 was created with dvipdfm : The link is expanded into 'http://www.../movies/map.m1v' If you download the pdf to your local machine and open it the link will be expanded into 'file:///<localdir>/movies/map.m1v' that is what i would (naiveley) expect. Since dvipdfm is capable to produce a meaningful expansion of baseurl=./ the problem lies not within hyperef and not within the capabilites of PDF.
