Creating hyperlinks in PDF from Word source doc

[Fred Ridder]

Or, if you are using Word 2007, try the Save As > XPS or PDF command. When our corporate IT folks first upgraded our pubs group to Office 2007 and Acrobat Pro 9.0, we were seeing some problems with using the Acrobat commands to produce PDFs (I don't remember the details, I'm afraid...). We did some testing and found that Office 2007's built-in save as PDF facility, which does not use Distiller, produced the most consistent results.
