Can You Preserve Web Hyperlinks in Word Document?

I am using Acrobat 9.3 Pro for the Mac running OS 10.5.8.
I have Microsoft Word documents with embedded hyperlinks to web pages (i.e., clicking in Word on "here" sends the reader to a web site.)
I would like to create a pdf from documents like this so that when you click on the word "here" you go to the web site.
Presently, the pdf is blue and underlined, but the link does not carry forward from Word to Acrobat.  This results whether I print using the "PDF" dialog box or whether I print using the "Acrobat PDF 9.0" selection among my printers.
I know I can go back and re-create the links using the links tool, and it will work if I type in the full web address.  I am simply hoping there is something I can do to avoid either of these workarounds.
Can anyone suggest anything?  This would seem to be a fairly simple feature to implement, so I'm probably missing something.

Unfortunately, that option isn't available in Word on a Mac. Windows only.
I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement but I assume it's not that easy since people have been begging for it for years.
If you were using InDesign, it can be done (using the InDesign Export to PDF function) but just not in Word.

  • Can you place text from a word document using data merge?

    I'm working with a charity that is giving away scholarships/grants. I need to create a ducument that pulls in various application data plus their submitted essay (docx format). I would like to do this via data merge but cannot find any reference if it is possible.
    Please help, I really need to automate as much as possible since this is a side project.
    Kevin

    Data merge only collects info from CSV format - which I expect you would export from Excel. (I think it'll take tab-delimited as well, but that's it.)
    MS Word files can be placed, but Data Merge is not the tool to automate placing of Word-file content. If there is no formatting of their essays, I suspect you could use VBA to cause entire essays to occupy a single cell in Excel. But that would be the only way to use Data Merge to automate import of essays into InDesign.
    Maybe if you tell us more we can give you some more automation suggestions. (I spend a lot of time automating translation workflows, but I still place Word files. All day long, in fact.)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
    If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    The Notes features of the 3G iPod Nano only supports TXT files and not Word Documents.  If you want to be able to read these word documents, you'll need to copy the text from each over to a text file.  See here for more information.

  • How can i convert New Microsoft Office Word Document to adobe

    how can i convert New Microsoft Office Word Document to adobe

    Hi itchigo,
    You can use Microsoft Word's inbuilt feature of converting the doc to pdf by simply selecting Save As> 'pdf doc format' from the drop down.
    Please refer: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/word-help/save-as-pdf-HA010354239.aspx#BM11
    Adobe Reader does not have the capability of converting docs to pdf or vice versa. It can only be used to read pdf files.

  • I can't open any of my Word documents on my Apple Mac. The error code is EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) and the  blame module name is WordArt. The documents are still there, and I can open them on my iPad when I email them there. Any ideas?

    I can't open any of my Word documents on my Apple Mac. The error code is EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) and the blame module name is WordArt. The documents are still there, and I can open them on my iPad when I email them there. Any ideas?

    Uhhhhh... Thank GOD... Got all of my files.
    Spent some time on the phone with Apple Care... who was great to deal with but actually... not as helpful as I was hoping. It was suggested that I try DiskWarrior 4 to try to recover the files. $108 later, I had no files.
    More calls with Apple Care and they were pretty sure that everything was gone since once the External drive was installed, like a moron, I let TimeMachine go ahead and back up my new MacBook... so it overwrote who knows how many gig that was my entire MacBook.
    I wasn't giving up so I called Maxtor, the manufacturer of the external drive itself. They suggested file recovery software from I365... which is also a Seagate company (the makers of the drive). The suggested I simply use their demo because the demo version would find the files. If it found them, I could buy the software to restore them.
    It found them! Another $129 after and I was able to restore all of them back to my old PC laptop.
    NOW, I just need to figure out how to get the 50gig of HD video files off of my old laptop now and into my Mac and IMovie so I can actually make some DVDs out of them!
    I get that Macs and PCs are different formats but I think it is ridiculous that formatting still means basically just wiping out or at least treating massive lots of old data as if it isn't there. There's gotta be a better way to do that.

    I have lists of links to word documents on my web pages. I

    No, you can use the FileSystemObject to get a list of the
    files in the directory. See if you can adapt this for your site:
