Even though the Acrobat tab does not display in Office 2010 for now, I have never had a problem converting a Word 2010 document in Acrobat manually. But today I noticed after creating the document into Word 2010 and converting into Acrobat (I am using Version 9 Pro) the document converted fine, however the links did not work. To resolve the issue I had to convert theWord document via saving the file as a .pdf from within Word 2010, this then I was able to see that the links worked.. Anyone having this problem.
Not having the Acrobat 9 ribbon in Office 2010 is indicative of an Acrobat install that is updated to dot version 9.3 or better.
Choosing to convert Microsoft Word (or Excel, PowerPoint, or Visio) documents from the Create PDF from File feature of Acrobat 9 — or related functions such as right-clicking on an Office document in Windows Explorer and choosing Convert to Adobe PDF — [i]will result in PDF conversion using the [b]Adobe PDF printer[/b] when Office 2010 is installed[/i].
Office applications' content that is processed directly by Adobe PDF printer will not have the "interactive" features (links, bookmarks, etc.).
Everyone using Office 2010 with Acrobat 9.3 or better will observe this expected behavior.
