I am converting a Word doc to PDF use PDFMaker/Acrobat Standard 6.0 and only some of the hyperlinks are moving across. The 'Add links to Adobe PDF' option is checked.
 
Any ideas?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 6.0.0, Windows

Try this.

Open the doc in Acrobat. Click Tools, Advanced Editing, Link Tool.

Add the links that were not converted in the Word to PDF conversion.

Also check your Word doc hyperlinks that are not working and test them in Word before conversion to PDF.

The links work in Word and the 'Tools>Advanced>Link' only offers 2 options, 'Remove All' and 'Create from URLs'.Create gives me no options other than 'Whole doc' or page selection and 'create' does nothing?

The hyperlinks in question are added to images inserted into the Word doc.

I'm still having no joy with this so any ideas would be hugely appreciated!

The document in question has 14 hyperlinks of which 7 move over to the PDF and 7 don't!?!?

The links all point to the same site, just the target page/document differs. Any ideas?
