I have created external hyperlinks (to URLs) in Word2007 documents. The hyperlinks are beneath words, like READ or VIEW or LISTEN. So clicking on READ, for example, takes the user to an underlying URL.
Here's my problem. When I use Word's "Save to PDF" function it keeps the hyperlinks just as I created them, BUT it won't embed the OpenType fonts I used to create the documents. If I use a commercial Word-to-PDF product, it embeds the fonts but doesn't preserve the links. I haven't found anything that does both.
I have searched the Adobe site and the Acrobat.com site to try to find whether there's an Adobe product that will enable me to accomplish both: embed OpenType fonts from a Word document into a PDF AND retain the hyperlinks as I have created them. I am willing to go back into a created PDF and create the kinds of hyperlinks I want using some kind of editing function, too -- it doesn't all have to happen automatically, though of course I'd prefer that.
Can someone please tell me what, if any, Adobe product will work?
Thank you!
Just wondering...
Are you using the Save As to pick up the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin
or the
Microsoft Save As PDF
With Word 2007 and Acrobat 9 I can output a test *.docx file to a PDF.
I used an Adobe OpenType font in the Word file.
The output PDF had the open type font embedded and PDF weblinks (from the hyperlinks set in Word) that functioned.
In this case I used the Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin configured to create links.
The Distiller job option used was the PDFMaker's default "Standard".
With Distiller, one can also select/deselect the embed option for all fonts, open type fonts & etc.
Might want to look over the job option used (if using the PDFMaker).
Can't speak to use of the Microsoft Save As PDF functionality/options - don't have it installed.
Be well...
