Authorware certainly can find the files if you tell it where to look.

The simplest way is

JumpOutReturn("", 
FileLocation^"theNameOfTheFolderThePDFsAreIn/filename.pdf")

Hello, I have several pdf documents that are accessed by clicking on a 
hyperlink using the "jumpoutreturn" function.  I want my students to
be able to 
start the program without seeing all of these additional files.  I thought 
maybe I could just put them in a folder but this doesn't work because 
authorware then cannot find the files.  Is there anyway for me to hide them in 
the packaging process?

 Thank you so much!

Before you deliver this, you should check to make sure that you will have 
permission to write to this location.

If it turns out you cannot write to the folder of your choice, you will 
probably have better luck writing to, and reading from, RecordsLocation

WriteExtFile(RecordsLocation^"folderA\\"^Digits^".txt",Write
Info1)

Be aware if you're trying to deliver to CD, you can't write to FileLocation.
