I have an e-mail list made in Word and converted to PDF by PDF Maker.
In Acrobat 7 Standard I want to create links from URL addresses for all 100 in the list.
It is no problems with addresses without a dot in the name e.i bengt [at] telia [dot] com. This works OK and open a new e-mail in Outlook. But with an address incl. a dot the URL is cut just after the dot. e.i. bengt [dot] persson [at] teli [dot] com. If I pont to this URL it shows mailto:persson [at] telia [dot] com

What can be done to solve the problem?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.0, Windows

This was a [url=http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=333155&sliceId=1]known issue[/url] with Acrobat 7. The only option to correct this problem is to manually fix the problem with the Link tool in Acrobat.1. Select each link using the Link tools. If no link is present, then use the Link tool to create one.

2. Double-click the link to open the Properties dialog box.

3. Manually correct the link.

Thank you Ikassuba for the answer. I am not pleased to pay some thousands SEK to solve this problem. Can it not be solved by a Java script?

You might try to see if the following works. Turn off the hyperlink feature in Word (Tools > AutoCorrect Options > Format As You Type Tab and turn off "Internet and Network Paths with Hyperlinks". Next create your PDF from Word. Then in Acrobat use the Advanced > Document Processing > Create Links from URLs command.

Thank you. I followed your advice very exact, but still the same problem.

In Adobe the command Create Links from URLs command cut everything to the left of the period.

And if this had worked, still should have a problem. The file I work with is a .pdf from the beginning, exported from GIT. GIT is a Swedish program that contains all data for all golf players in Sweden.
