I have need to create a 'z:\' drive on my PC so i can use a path on it as a reference in a .pdf file so that when that .pdf is published on another server it will reference the right document.

How can i easily create a 'z:\' drive on my PC - if i use 'map network drive' its expecting to find a network point to map to?

    Hi,

    When you map the network drive use :

    \\127.0.0.1\c$

    This will point it towards your local C: drive and should work how you want it to.
