Saving Word-11 docs as PDFs, Hyperlinks don't work

I have a MAC Book Pro running OSX 10.7.3.  I am running Microsoft Word (for compatibility reasons for clients) and need to save documents as PDFs so I can place them on a web site with the hyperlinks active.  When I save as PDF all of the hyperlinks appear blue with the line underneath them but the links do not work.
Does anyone know why this does not work on the MAC.  The same process works fine on a PC with the Windows version of Word.
Thank you,
Dave

It has to be a setting in Word. Not sure which one.
But then Office for PC and Office for Mac are slightly different. MS may not include this feature in the Mac version.
You could always get Adobe Acrobat and then you would have the real PDF creator.

  • Microsoft Access report to pdf-hyperlinks don't work

    Hi,
    Does anyone have a solution to hyperlinks not working when a Microsoft Access report is converted to a pdf?  The hyperlinks work when I am in the Access report, but once I convert to a pdf (Acrobat 9), the links don' t work.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    How did you convert? In looking at the PDF Maker options for AA8 in ACCESS 2007, there does not seem to be a link button in the preferences. That may the issue and I do not have a solution for that.

  • Some PDF Links don't work

    Structured Frame 7.2, Acrobat 8.1.2
    Some of my Frame xrefs work as links in PDF, some don't. All xref formats use elem rather than para, the jumps work in FrameMaker. These are the first PDFs we've created after moving to structured Frame. Any suggestions? Help please!

    Teresa,
    This sounds like a long-time known bug in structured Frame which I think may carry over into unstructured Frame, I'm not sure. The bug is that some PDF hyperlinks don't work if you don't include the target in the PDF bookmarks. For example, if your xrefs target a Heading3 element, but you don't include Heading3 elements in your bookmarks, Frame may fail to create named destinations for those elements and your links won't work.
    There is a workaround to this bug in my shareware XRef Wizard plugin, available at www.weststreetconsulting.com. It might be able to help... look in the documentation for "named destinations."

  • Saved Pages document as PDF. Now hyperlinks don't work

    After saving my newsletter in Pages 09 as a PDF (Print>Compress as PDF) some embedded hyperlinks don't work. Strangely enough, the links to an e-mail DO work, but links to a URL DO NOT. Why is this and what do I do to overcome this problem?

    That's a fairly long thread I linked to. Did you get all the way down to this post with a screenshot? I see that others had the same problem you do & it took them a couple of tries to get it working. I would be nice to be able to see what you're doing (or not doing), but we have to make do with words & screenshots.

  • Word 2007 doc to PDF missing bookmark numbers

    Hi,
    I am using Acrobat 9 Pro to convert a Word 2007 doc to PDF. The doc converts fine and I get the bookmarks.
    The problem though is that the generated bookmarks are missing their numbers.
    For example:
    In Word 2007, it will look like:
    1 Overview
    1.1 Introduction
    In Acrobat 9 Pro generated PDF, it looks like:
    Overview
    Introduction
    I looked through the forums and other people have posted similar questions but no resolution was seen.
    Can somebody please help out?
    I talked to Adobe tech support and they were no help.
    Thanks

    Hi all,
    Here is an update to this issue.
    First of all I agree with Nick that this *is* an Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro issue. (Possibly even with older versions).
    Anyway below are the steps I followed to get this to work. It is quite a round about way but I'm happy I got it to work.
    * Generate the PDF as usual from Word 2007. (Maybe you don't need to generate the bookmarks here because we are going to delete them later anyway).
    * Open the newly generated PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
    * Click on the Bookmarks tab---if you have the Word 2007 generated bookmarks here select them all (Ctrl-A) and delete them :(
    * Then click on the "Gears" icon in the Bookmarks tab.
    * In the drop down menu select the "New Bookmarks from Structure..."
    * Highlight the structures you wish to have for your bookmarks. For example I chose H1, H2, H3 assuming those were Heading1, ...
    * Click OK
    * The newly generated bookmarks contain section numbers
    * Unfortunately this shows up within a bookmark called "Untitled" So I again select all (Ctrl-A)
    * Unselect "untitled" and move (drag) everything else to one level above "Untitled"
    * Then I delete "Untitled".
    Unfortunately this new bookmark is a flat structure---i.e. you cannot collapse it.
    Oh well! At least it works.
    If any of you can come up with a better solution, please post it here :)
    Thanks

  • Hyperlinks don't work in fillable pdf forms

    I have a question for you folks and am hoping you can help me.  I am using Adobe Acrobat X Professional.  I want to create "fillable" pdf forms which include hyperlinks.  When I create a pdf form and "Save as" a "Reader extended PDF" and "Enable additional features" the hyperlinks don't work.  I save the document this way in order to produce a fill-in pdf document.  However, if I save the document as a regular pdf (i.e., not reader extended/non-fillable pdf form) then the hyperlinks work.  Any ideas how I can get the hyperlinks to work in a fillable pdf form?  Thanks!
    Chris Quarto

    Hi Michael:
    I'm sorry...I wish I knew what "autorecognized links" were.  :  (  As I mentioned in my reply to David, I created the hyperlinks in Microsoft Word before I converted the Word document to a pdf. 
    I have resolved the problem and posted my step-by-step solution a few days ago, but for some reason I don't see it in this forum.  It kind of goes like this...to get hyperlinks to work with fillable pdf's:
    1. Create Microsoft Word document and save when done.
    2. While in Word, click on "Acrobat" on menu bar (assuming you have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro on your computer) and "Create pdf;" confirm that hyperlinks work and close document.
    3. Open pdf document with Acrobat Pro and selected "Create pdf form."
    4. Edit the "fillable" parts of the document (e.g., make all fields/text boxes 10 pt. font size...I wish there was a way of setting the default so you wouldn't have to manually do this for each field/box, but haven't figured out how to do that one yet).
    5. Close form editing.
    6. Select File --> Save as --> Reader extended pdf --> Enable additional features.
    7. Save file
    8. Close file and re-open to verify that hyperlinks and fields work/are fillable.
    That's my solution.  There's probably an easier way to do this, but it works.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9

    Problem converting Word 2007 DOC to PDF 9
    I have a Word 2007 DOC (not docx) file with pictures and text which converted perfectly with Distiller 8. I installed CS4 Distiller 9, and now the same DOC file flows over onto several extra pages. I am using the default settings. Any idea what has changed. Thanks in advance.

    First, select the Adobe PDF printer in WORD. Then go through the document to check for the flow of the document. It should print the same as you see in the document after the printer has been selected.

  • Hyperlinks don't work in Preview

    I created a PDF file from a PowerPoint presentation using Mac OS X. My PDF file has hyperlinks in it that work fine when viewed in Acrobat Reader. But I'm unable to get any of the hyperlinks to work when viewing the file with the built in program "Preview" that is part of the Mac OS X operating system.
    There are plenty of PDF files on the Internet with hyperlinks that work in both Apple Preview and Acrobat Reader. But the PDF files I create using Mac OS X, don't seem to function properly in Preview.
    Any suggestions?

    I found this bit of information here ( http://www.cs.wright.edu/~jslater/mac-tex/mac-tex-intro/mactexintro.html):
    Adobe Reader (I wouldn’t)
    Adobe Acrobat (Not this either)
    Preview (Maybe better)
    Skim (Awesome, my pick)
    TEXShop - Works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
    iTEXMac - Also works well as a viewer-only with extra tools
    OzTEX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
    CMacTEX(if not using PDFLaTEX)
    MacDVIX (if not using PDFLaTEX)
    If PDFTEX is used, any PDF(R) viewer can be used, but hyperlinks don’t work in viewers using Apple’s(R) PDF code (e.g. Preview, iTEXMac, TEXShop, Skim...), so you may want to have Adobe Reader(R) or Acrobat installed to test your hyperlinks.

  • Hyperlinks Don't Work in Preview/Publish Mode - Correct in Design View

    I am having trouble with hyperlinks. I've deleted existing hyperlinks, then copied and pasted addresses back in but it is still not working. Any idea why this is happening.
    www.ronbrendle.com/reviews.html
    To the right of each album the links for amazon, itunes and cdbaby do not work. They DO work for the Bunky Moon album but I cannot discern any difference.  In Muse design view, the hyperlink addresses are correct when I select the amazon, itunes or cdbaby element.
    Also - when I copy a page URL from this site - it pastes the title tag. For example:
    www.ronbrendle.com/reviews.html becomes "Brendle is a monster bassist." JazzTimes
    Please help if you can.

  • Hyperlink don't work with "download a document"

    I use iWeb 2006. My web site <www.xicro.it> have a link with a document to download. This kind of hyperlink don't work on line, but it work when you check the site in local host.
    Do you have any answer or any other experiences concerning this problem?
    Thank

    Hi,
    You can put the file which you want people to be able to download in a zip. Then put a link on your website to that zip file (normal link) and as soon as you click on the link the zip will download.
    In your case that would be xoomer.alice.it/xicro/F537BB88-A61B-11DB-9BB2-000393D45032/xxxxxxxxx.zip

  • Hyperlinks don't work, please help!! :(

    Hi all,
    I've created a new website and I would just like to know why my hyperlinks don't work? The facebook link used to, but ever since I posted the text under the menu icons in the middle of the site and then publish it won't activate any of them! This is really frustrating so I'm really hoping someone has an easy solution to this...
    My URL is www.nurburgringnow.co.uk
    Thanks,

    It looks to me as though you have made your navigation menu using images places without a shape?
    If so, what he is saying is that this shape has got into your footer and is covering everything else and the whole page, which is why your links will not work. If your links are covered by anything, then they won't work.
    In iWeb select show all so you can see where things are on your site. Shorten your footer area and I would suggest that you remove the shape and then place it in the body of your site. To get your links to work you need to ensure that you send the shape to the back.

  • Hyperlinks missing after converting Word 03 docs to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9.

    I'm having an issue when I convert a Word 2003 doc using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to pdf that the hyperlinks are disappearing.  I've had success with this in the past but for some reason now the hyperlinks never carry over or show up in the pdf.  I also have a good amount of bookmarks making up a table of contents within my word doc that aren't making the conversion either.
    I've spent a few hours thumbing through options in both the pdf printer and word as well as searching online with no luck.
    Kind regards,
    Tim

    Alright, I've got link creation process working again.
    However, now I have another technical issue with how the links are being handled.
    My work has an Intranet site that these Polices and Procedures are being accessed from (http://is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/).  For some reason when you open one of these forms on our Intranet site and click one of the embedded links (that are linking to another one of the Policy and Procedure PDFs) it's adding extra text to the path. i.e. open 2.01 Employee Handbook when I click a link embedded in that form to http://is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/3.01 Technology Usage Policy it's adding an extra is-intranet to the beginning of the path http://is-intranet/is-intranet/policiesandprocedures/3.01 Technology Usage Policy causing it to not open.
    I cannot seem to prevent this from happening.  Now, if I go through the form and look at the link it's correct and if re-link it to the other form everything works fine and the path of the link in the PDF doesn't change.  But now the link works correctly when opening the forms from our Intranet Site.
    It's a very confusing issue.

  • Cannot Convert and Combine Word 2010 docs to PDF Binder

    Have Acrobat Pro 9.4 Extended.  This worked fine with Word 2007, but I upgraded to Word 2010.  Now, when I add files and press on combine button it opens Word and asks me to save the first file to a pdf in Word, not in Acrobat.  Then, the conversion in Acrobat starts but hangs up until the program stops responding.  The binder that holds the combined and converted word docs to pdf never occurs.  Maybe the settings are wrong.  Or is there an issue with Office 2010?  I did a repair of Acrobat, but it has not helped.  Any help appreciated.

    Do you see the same issue with PDF Maker also ? I would recomend to update the Acrobat to the latest version : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html
