An update: when I edit the PDF produced by pandoc and hover over the links 
it displays an absolute path
(e.g. http://ats-alert-database-diagram.pdf for the link below). 

This does not seem correct given that I am definitely running pandoc from 
the directory containing the markdown and the PDF files I want to link to.
