Links: I would like to link from an excel-sourced pdf to a section with a word-sourced pdf. I had assumed that the standard excel interdocument linking command could be used from the excel source to a Word bookmark target: =HYPERLINK("file.doc#bookmark3","linkname"). But it does not work. Am I able to do interdocument linking from excel files to within (inside) word files? I would prefer to put the link in the source (excel) file as they may have to be updated in the future. And in Word, I put Bookmarks as targets. But I think I'm losing both the link functionality and the bookmarks on the conversion. Is there a way to do this?

A PDF is a PDF. It has absolutly nothing to do with the document that it was converted from. Interactive features in the original document have no meaning in the PDF, with the possible exception of links, but only if the conversion utility is setup to handle it.
