How can I modify an internal link using Acrobat 7 Standard? I've created a table of contents to 375 individual pdfs from our network, but when I copy the project to CDROM, the links still refer to the network location and not the CDROM location. How do I modify the link to refer to the CDROM?
My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7 / Windows

Thank you for this information. I will for sure need it when I have to add additional pages to the TOC and documents. This information does not, however, directly address my question:
Standard drives in a computer:
A: - floppy
C: - HD/root
D: - alternate HD or primary CD/DVD drive
E: - alternate CD/DVD drive
foo: all other letter designations usually reserved for networks
I created the TOC on our network in
foo:\matter#\foldername\subfolder\TOC\
all 400 pdfs are in the TOC folder with the TOC.pdf - to minimize jumping across multiple folder locations.
I then copied the TOC folder to CD-ROM.
all 400 links still refer to
foo:\matter#\foldername\subfolder\TOC\
and not
E:\TOC\
if this CD-ROM goes to another computer, it will not have access to "foo:". How can I modify the link to adjust for this change?

You're trying to use a restricted function. When this function is used with a path parameter and executed in a non-privileged context, Acrobat will throw an exception. The reason behind this restriction is, if the code can't be trusted, then the user has to specifically select the file location.
Another restriction is that the path specification must be a Safe Path. A safe path is one that doesn't point to a restricted location or one that could pose a security risk. Examples of these restricted locations are the system folder and the root folder of any hard drive. Other folders that might be restricted are dependent on the end users operating system security settings.
My suggestion: Create an auto run ini file on the CD or distribute the PDF as a zipped file on the network.
