    Is there any easier or better way of making a particular image link to a pdf file? I’m thinking of putting an the pdf logo into an image, and then have that logo image link to an actual pdf file … whether the logo image is being viewed in a filmstrip or the full sized image.

    Here’s what I’m doing now. I’m putting code into the pdf logo image descriptor which pops up a tooltip to draw attention to the fact that you can download a pdf file by clicking in the middle of the full-sized image. I put the address of the pdf in the photo’s ‘link url’.

    Assuming the pdf is specific to the photo (each photo has its own pdf) you can do something like this in the photo description (Table IX-A1: Aloow HTML should be checked):

    <a href="https://www.link-to-the-pdf" title="Download pdf"><img src="https://www.link-to-the-pdf-logo" /></a>

    Then you have a pdf logo that tells “Download pdf” on hovering, and does the download on clicking.
