Word hyperlinks to pdf

[ETID]

Hi Any & All

Has anyone had any success with the adobe distiller/pdfmaker and MsWord hyperlinks that contain a subaddress?

I.E. ftp://ftp.my_server/path/pdf_file.pdf#page_in_pdf_doc

I,ve noticed this issue:

When links are "distilled/transferred" to adobe either from within word or from the explorer, the distiller/pdfdfmaker skips just about every other link or so (the links in the word doc are a line by line list.)

Has any one seen this and is there a way to force the links to be more stable?

Thanks for any clues...

Do yu mean that the words don't show up in the pdf or that the links are not active as links in the pdf.

If it's the first, It's really wierd. If it's the second try opening the pdf in Acrobat and going to Advanced Menu/Links/Create and see how you do.

When you select Adobe PDF as your printer - from Word - check the various Word options that are found on the print window.

Thanks for the reply...the later is the case.

Here is what I'm up against, Our org. has a document that is in a constant state of change. So I have a word vba macro that asigns a Hyperlink to to a subaddresses within another doc.

This all works fine in the Word version.

But when Adobe 6.03 Pro turns it into a pdf, the process ingnores some of the hyperlinks,...(seems it just gives up and moves on to the next) the end result is that just about every other link in a line by line list of links, is just the text without the link.

The main goal is to not have to manually add the links via the adobe editor, as this document can change daily.

This involves another step, but you might see how it works. Save the Word doc as html. In Acrobat go to File/CreatePDF/From Web Page.

Maybe that will get all the links.
