Linking to PDF files

I have a bunch of links to PDF files in a MyInfo document (edit, insert hyperlink to file). They used to work, now they dont (nothing happens, no errors, no file opens). My machine was upgraded to Acrobat Reader 8 and other links still work fine. Any ideas? Anyone else with Acrobat Reader 8 that can verify this? I tried reinserting the link and inserting a completely new link and the same thing happens. The files open fine by doubleclicking from explorer. Thanks,
Kevin

MyInfo uses Adobre Acrobat open parameters command line, in order to support linking to specific pages inside the PDF file. I suppose that they have changed it in version 8, but the new reference is not yet online, so I could not confirm that. We will test it with version 8 in house and I think that we will be able to find and fix the problem soon.

This may be solved... I clicked on the Acrobat Reader 8 shortcut in the start menu, Adobe "configured" itself (despite having worked otherwise for a few weeks), and now the links are working again. I dont know what happened, but it's fixed for now.
