Re: Links to external PDF don't work in PDF output

Hm, I'm not sure what is happening. As I said, I got
different behavior for a similar test.  It may have to
do with the setup on Windows, but I don't use Windows
and can't easily test.

Does it help if you do

    [ats alert tables](./ats-alert-database-diagram.pdf)
