Question Hyperlink to PDF

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a relatively straightforward workflow for converting InDesign documents from a reprint title list to epubs, using Sigil as final editor. I've run across a curious problem:

Using hyperlink panel in InDesign, I referenced a "pdf" within a document and exported to epub. The epub highlights link as a hyperlink, but either does nothing or jumps back to previous entry in content list when viewed in a reader app. The pdf does not appear.

I opened up the epub and added the pdf file to "Misc" folder and linked to it using standard "a ref" code, as in:

<p class="text"><a href="/Misc/Harriman97LakesE.pdf"><span class="txtbital">Lakes Chart</span></a></p>

Adobe Digital Editions simply crashes when I hit the hyperlink, and Firefox "e" addon pushes to next item in content list.

I'm missing something simple here, but can't figure it out . . . any ideas?
