WORD produced pdfs

[Mike Shaugnessy]

I use Word for MAC from Office 2004. I can create a document in WORD
that has hyperlinks (a URL hypertext) However, the hyperlinks don't
work in the pdf file. Is there a way to make them active?

 

[Phillip Jones]

The Problem That the people from Acrobat say is:
MicroSoft in the Mac version of Office has left of the necessary *hooks*
with Office to allow this to happen.

In order to add them you must do the following
go to desired item in the PDF and choose properties. Then change font
color to Blue and underline.

Next highlight again and choose link tool then properties and create the
desired link Mailto:

Or go to advanced to tool bar and select make web link.

You still have to color and underline link as necessary.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!

color to Blue and underline.

Well there is a faster way if the links appear in clear text (eg:
http://www.apple.com).
You can use the advanced tools in acrobat to have it scan the PDF and
automatically create all links.

That's true it does create links if written as links. However the blue
color and underlines are not added although the links work.

Adobe claims that some required hooks to make the links automatically
turn blue and underline are missing in the Mac version of Office.

f rankly I don't know if its a cop out or not. I run across the question
and answer enough in the acrobat Mac newsgroup, That its considered a
stock answer.

I run across the question and answer enough in the acrobat Mac newsgroup.

FOR PHILLIP JONES ONLY:

Phillip, can you please post the address of the newsgroup? (don't reply to
me -- that address is a spam bin and my ISP's anti-spam service is a bit
savage at the moment, so it will probably not get through). I have not had
much luck with the Acrobat User "Community" for a problem I'm having (not
involving Word).

Cheers,
Clive

when you get there.

no taz I wasn't napping I just sent basically the same thing. But as per
my Penchant for being detailed Mine was more long winded for the same
thing. I forgot I see you on those groups as well.

How do you manage to get any work done. My excuse is I am retired on
disability and have nothing better to do. ;-)
