What are the differences between these two types of links?
\href{xxx.pdf}{My PDF}
\href{run:xxx.pdf}{run:My PDF}
Both open the same file in Acrobat (but at different zoom levels?). However, in TeXShop, only the run:
version opens the file. I have always used the second style, but as both seem to be valid, I am wondering if I need to change things?
Questions:
- What are the difference between these two types of links?
- When should I use the first style versus the second style?
Notes:
- At this time, I am only asking regarding opening external pdf files. Having answers regarding non-pdf files (in case there are different issues involved) if fine too, as that may be useful to others.
Code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\href{xxx.pdf}{My PDF}\quad
\href{run:xxx.pdf}{run:My PDF}
\end{document}
