"COPY/PASTE AS HYPERLINK" WORD CONVERSION TO PDF

I am using Acrobat 8.0 Standard, Microsoft Word 2003, and Windows XP Home Edition. When I converted an e-book (363 pages) I wrote in Word to a .PDF file using the "Convert to Adobe PDF" tab in Word, I had a problem with the conversion of hyperlinks. The hyperlinks in the table of contents converted just fine. Those hyperlinks were generated in Word using the "Insert/Reference/Index and Tables/Table of Contents" tabs. However, I inserted many other hyperlinks throughout the Word document using the "Copy" and "Paste as Hyperlink" functions under the "Edit" tab. Those hyperlinks link words to the glossary, appendices, and other sections of the document. After the conversion to .PDF, ALL those "Copy/Paste as Hyperlink" hyperlinks link back to page 1 of the Acrobat PDF document instead of linking to the sections of the document I assigned them to in Word. A friend of mine had the same problem when he converted my Word document using Acrobat 7.0 Professional. How do I resolve this problem?
