    That's because your link is to a local file. As soon as it's on the server, it's looking for the ULM.PDF file in the server's C:\ drive. You'll need to put the file on a web server and refer to it via a URL. The best way of doing this will depend on how IIS is configured, but it will either be in C:\inetpup\wwwroot or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb and then referring to the file as <a href="http:///UML.PDF">http://<server>/UML.PDF.
