FootNote links and PDFs

[Mitch]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to get Word 2003 SP3 with Acrobat Std 7 to generate
PDF links... I know this is more likely an Acrobat question... figured I'd
check in here.. 900 page document with lots of foot notes, and when you
convert it it removes the links Word inserts...

Thanks for anything you can do.

Mitch

There's more than one way to create a PDF in Acrobat 7. If you just print to
the Adobe PDF print driver, you will not get any hyperlinks. However, if you
open Adobe and select Create PDF - From file, you should get the links you
need.

If you have the Adobe PDF toolbar available, one of the icons on that
toolbar will also give you the functionality you need.

If this answers your question, please click "Yes."

Thanks,

Jerry

Assuming you have the Adobe PDF item on your menu bar, click on that and
choose Conversion Settings. In the ensuing dialog, look at each of the tabs
for settings that pertain to links, such as "Add links to Adobe PDF" on the
Settings tab, "Convert footnote and endnote links" on the Word tab, and
"Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks" on the Bookmarks tab.
