My fellow Nukemeisters,

I am having trouble doing PDF to PDF links with files inside of secure folders.  I basically have an overview PDF that has links out to other PDF files.  I don't want to park the files outside the control of DNN on the server.  That lets my users link to the files OK, but it also allows unregisterd users to see the files then.

I've tried setting up the links in the overview PDF doc as follows:

myPDF.pdf.resources
http://www.mysite.com/SECURE_DOCS/mypdf.pdf.resources

Of course neither works - how do I do this?  I'm thinking that to meet my deadline I might set up the overview as a text/html module and link out from there into the secure docs folder.  This would not be a good long term solution though, as I will be dealing with a large volume of "Overview" files, and will not be able to convert them all to html.

Thanks!

The point of the Secure folders system is that they cannot be direclty linked.  ASP.NET will NOT server .resources files to users.  Therefore, LinkClick.aspx must be used to actuall read the file and write it out to the user on the fly. 

If you must direct link to the file, it will need to either be via the LinkClick.aspx link for the filr, or you will need to move it out of the secured folder.
