I have a document in Word 2007 that has hyperlinks placed on Graphics. When the document is converted to a PDF through a "File Print" method or "Save As PDF" the hyperlinks do not work in the PDF? Any ideas. I've heard the solutions for the PDF Maker way in Office XP by checking the maintain links checkbox. Is there anything like that for Office 2007?

You will need Acrobat Standard version 8 or better and need to use the "PDF Maker" tool. You probably will need to set the settings used to convert the links to active links.

How do you use the PDF Maker tool in Office 2007? The only way I know to convert an Office 2007 file to PDF is by doing a "Save As" or by Printing to Adobe PDF.

If you have Office 2007 you will need Acrobat 8.1.2 Standard or better. You may have to enable the PDF Maker add-on.

Acrobat version 7 does not support nor will Adobe make it support MS Office 2007 or Vista.
