Dynamic URLs in Excel 2007 are Not Retained when Exporting to PDF?

C

I've been using Excel to create PDF invoices for my small home business (with
the official MS Export to PDF add-on), and include suitable payment links to
allow clients to quickly and conveniently settle their invoices. However,
I've noticed that dynamic URLs (i.e. those which make use of cell values with
the =HYPERLINK function) are not retained on PDF export. In the resulting
PDF, they're formatted as though a link (underlined, different colour etc.),
but they do nothing.

In the mean time I use static hyperlinks to take the client to a payment
gateway, where he/she will have to manually enter the invoice total. I'd
really love it if I could use dynamic hyperlinks to automatically use the
invoice total value in a direct payment URL to PayPal, for instance.

Please, if anyone can help with this bug, I'd hugely appreciated it.

Thanks,
Chris
