Did you create the PDF by "printing" from Word and then selecting Adobe
PDF as the printer? Many PDF options, including hyperlinks I believe,
are lost when you do this. You need to use the Convert to Adobe PDF
command on the Adobe PDF menu. Even then the Add Links to Adobe PDF
option must be turned on.

Go to "Change Conversion Settings" for your Acrobat.

On the setings tab, under Application Settings, check the box for "Add
bookmarks to Adobe PDF" and "Add links to Adobe PDF".
Then check under the Word tab, and check the "Convert cross-references and
Table of Contents to links", you may want the Footnote and endnote links.
Then check under the Bookmarks tabs that the particular Styles you want are
included.
You may get the message box concerning tags, "may take some time", "do you
wish to continue", etc. if your document is large and has many such links.
Hope this helps

Unfortunately, while Dean and Peter have the right idea, they appear to have
missed the reference to Acrobat 6, which has an add-in that is not
compatible with Word 2007. For that you need Acrobat 8.1.2. You may do
better with the Word 2007 PDF add-in that is available from Microsoft.
