PowerPoint 2003 to pdf with bookmark links

[doinwork]

Hi
I have a presentation with 107 slides and 10 bookmarks that link from the
"contents" slide to their relevant slides.
When I preview the presentation or use the .pps version all the links work
fine, but when I export it to pdf some of the links go to incorrect pages.
Is there something I need to tick in the pdf process that will fix this?
I have tried it via the print to pdf process and using the pdf icon from
powerpoint and neither work correctly for the links.

thanks for your assistance

Print to PDF won't create any hyperlinks at all; for that, you need to use
Adobe's icon. But if it's like the PC version, it gets confused sometimes.
This explains why and includes a macro to fix the problem. Ignore the stuff
about our Prep4PDF add-in, it's a PC-only product. The macro here should work
ok on Mac, though:

Greetings,

I cannot get PowerPoint to run on my Intel based Mac. I'm running
PowerPoint X, NOT PowerPoint 2004. I'm waiting for the native version, and
am fine with running it under Rosetta for now.

In the meantime, I'd like to be able to run the version I paid for.

The usual error report is something on the order of this:

Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x0047eff0

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried installing Office X under
another username, that doesn't seem to fix the problem.

flm
