You don't mention the Word version you are using (alwaus helpful).
You need to change your PDF Convertion Settings. In 2003 and prior, clcik on the Adobe PDF menu, clcik Change Conversion Settings, in the dialog you will see several options, one of which is Add Links to Adobe PDF, check this, the next time you PDF a file you will maintain your links. If you have 2007, I am not sure where these commands are located but hopefully the instructions above will help.

Do you use the 2007 PDF AddIn or do you have third party software.
The instructions I gave you apply to Adobe software, not the Office AddIn. That I am not sure about. Come back if you find or not find anything. -- All the best DeanH "Kaylwood2" wrote: Thanks Dean I'll take a look, apologies I am working with 2007.

I'm not having much luck, work on a network server and guess it must be a
third party software as nothing in showing under Add Ins. Can't find an Adobe Menu anywhere and have even tried going backwards (starting in Adobe then saving from file) but still nothing.

It sounds like you are using the built-in PDF function that 2007 has, not
sure but this does not use the Adobe Software that you also have on your system. Also not sure how you change the settings in this function. If you are trying to create from Adobe software, what version are you using? In mine, go to Edit, Preferences, Convert to PDF, Microsoft Office, Edit Settings, check the box for Add Bookmarks and Links to Adobe PDF file. The use the File, Create PDF, From File. -- Hope this helps DeanH "Kaylwood2" wrote: I'm not having much luck, work on a network server and guess it must be a third party software as nothing in showing under Add Ins.

Word to PDF with links
The question remains *how* you are creating PDFs? To create PDFs with
Acrobat from Word that have working links with display text that is not the link itself, you need the extra functionality of the Acrobat add-in for Word. If you are using the Office 2007 PDF plug-in (which adds PDF to the Save As options) then links should work. If you are using third party tools then the availability of working links will depend on the PDF driver. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DeanH wrote: It sounds like you are using the built-in PDF function that 2007 has, not sure but this does not use the Adobe Software that you also have on your system.

Thanks Graham, I forgot the first principle, does the OP actually have the
software to do the job! Lets see what returns. Ciao DeanH "Graham Mayor" wrote: The question remains *how* you are creating PDFs?

wrote: I have a word document with embedded links, am I able to PDF this file and keep the ilnks working within the PDF document? Thank You Hi Kaylwood2, Actually there are many other ways to convert Word to PDF except Adobe Acrobat. 1. You just need to use a office add-on SaveAsPDF to save word as pdf format. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en 2. You can also try some other ways to convert word docs to PDF free and save the original links. this tips may help you: http://www.allpdftools.com/pdf-tips/...-acrobat..html http://www.allpdftools.com/pdf-tips/...es-to-pdf.html Good Luck~ |

Thank you both,
I guess my Adobe Professional 6 isn't up to the job! Thank you for your help. Kay "DeanH" wrote: Thanks Graham, I forgot the first principle, does the OP actually have the software to do the job!

The Acrobat Professional 6 add-in is not compatible with Word 2007
You could retain it for editing and viewing PDFs and use the PDF plug-in from Microsoft to create the PDFs. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Kaylwood2 wrote: Thank you both, I guess my Adobe Professional 6 isn't up to the job!
