More problems while converting hyperlinks in word to pdf - missing first words

Question

I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (I think on Windows XP).
If I have a word document with a working hyperlink when I convert it to PDF (using the Acrobat button in Word)I end up with a working hyperlink in the pdf file but it is missing the first word. For example :
in Word the hyperlinked phrase will be http:/tinyurl.com/MarinaBloj but in the pdf version it will be :/tinyurl.com/MarinaBloj
or
in Word the hypelinked phrase will be "Sensitivity to luminance and chromaticity gradients in a complex scene." but in the pdf version it will be " to luminance and chromaticity gradients in a complex scene." with an extra blank space.
worse, if in the word it is a single word, say "PDF" then all you get in the created pdf document is " " i.e. a blank space that is actually is a hyperlink (you can see the corresponding address if you hover the mouse).

I am experiencing the exact problem...hyperlinks work after conversion from Word to pdf however first word is missing. I can only reproduce the problem on one computer. Other computers I have tried it on do not have that problem. Here is a work around i found....You can select the entire document (Ctrl + Shift + End from the beginning), then go to "Create PDF". Go into Options and select the "Selection" option. Then proceed to convert the document. It's a workaround but I'd like to know what the cause of the problem is.
