having hyperlinks in a PDF print

[G Brown]

I have hyperlinks and footnotes in my Word 2000 document.
I'm printing to 6.0 and its Distiller, but the hyperlinks
(and possibly links made by the footnotes) don't remain.
How can I get them to? Thanks!

Hi G,

Although strictly speaking this is not a Word question... I will give it a
shot!

From the Adobe PDF menu, select "Change conversion settings";
Select the "Word" tab;
Is "Convert footnote and endnotes links" checked?;
Check it if it isn't.

Did this make the difference?
Also make sure that the "Add links to Adobe PDF" is checked ("Settings" tab)

Salut!

Are you compiling the PDF via the Adobe Acrobat add-in?

I don't have an Adobe PDF menu! Is this in Word? I'm using Word 2003/XP/Acrobat 5...

Sounds like Adobe Acrobat not installed correctly. Dig out your Adobe
Acrobat CD and Re-install. (I have a vague recollectoin Adobe 5.0 and
Word 2003 not compatible ... you may have to upgrade Adobe to 6.0 ...
check with www.adobe.com)

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Acrobat 5 pre-dates Word 2003 and if you install it after Word 2003 its
add-in will be installed in the wrong folder. (upgrading to Office 2003 from
a previous version should move the add-in automatically). Make sure you have
the latest update to Acrobat 5 and put the pdfmaker.dot add-in in the
Office11 startup folder - normally C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP
