Document merge link conversion

I have Merged 70 MS Word documents into one 110 page PDF in Adobe Pro 8.0
The links in the Word docs point to other Word docs. After the merge, they still
point to the Word docs that outside the PDF instead of the bookmarked pages for
that merged document. There are hundreds of links back and forth throughout these
documents that would require hours of work every time a small update is made.
Is there a way to convert the link properties from "open a file" to
"go to a page" or bookmark during the merge?

I'm not sure if you've set the styles (Headings, sub-titles, & etc.) in your original Word doc. These are the parts of the doc that determines the bookmarks.You can also set hyperlinks in Word and try will be picked up when the doc is converted to PDF.

Run Examine Document (in your PDF) right now to see where the errors in style are, then make the necessary corrections in the Word doc.
