When we convert an Excel spreadsheet with email addresses to pdf, any of the ones that have periods in the address like fred.smith@xyz.com lose the first name and the Acrobat document mailto hyperlink starts the email link after the period. So the example becomes smith@xyz.com . This is a big problem since most of the email addresses in the list are set up this wau. We use Acrobat 4.0 and 6.0 Pro. Any way to fix this?

We recently had this same problem but from MS Word.
One 'fix' that worked was to prefix the 'Display Text' property of the hyperlink with 'mailto:'.
Our users however did not like that so we used OpenOffice and GhostScript instead of MS Word and Acrobat.
