Is there a way I can make a hyperlink of relative path to file?
I have a folder with my odt and a pdf file there. I want to make a relative link to the pdf file - to insert the link in odt.
How can this be done?

Links
To use a URL to link to another document on the same website (a relative link), the OpenOffice "Document" hyperlink option must be used, not the "Internet" option. This is because OpenOffice treats all links entered using the "Internet" panel of the Hyperlink dialog as being absolute addresses (fine for external links). To check that the correct type of link has been created, enable the Hyperlink Bar using "View -> Toolbars -> Hyperlink Bar". If the hyperlink you have entered begins with "file://" then it is a relative link, otherwise it is an absolute link.

Oh - I solved it!
Two things:
- Options -> Load/Save -> General check the relative links
When making hyperlink - choose the Document not the Internet
This way despite it shows the absolute path - the link is relative.
