I have hyperlinks across several Word Documents. Once the Word docs. are made into pdf files, the links open the Word docs. instead of the pdf files. Is there a workaround? From my experience, the links will only work if they are internal links; external links have to be done manually.
The Word docs are converted to PDF, and the links are converted to PDF, but they are working correctly. That is, the link is to a Word doc, not to the PDF version of it.
The only workaround is to redo the links from within Acrobat, or to redo the links in the Word docs to point to the PDF versions, rather than the doc versions.
