Converting a large (60-page) Microsoft Word document to PDF using Acrobat Professional V.7.0.7. My table of contents and numerous cross references in the Word document are active links. Until last week, when I would convert the document to PDF, all of the links were preserved. This week, something happened, and now I end up with a PDF document with all of the hidden Microsoft Word "field codes" displayed where the table of contents and all the cross references should be. I'm not sure what happened, and I can't get back to where I was last week.
The problem lies in your Word doc. Go back to the source file, and select all the content. Then right-click over one of your links and toggle the field code off. You won't see the fields on the doc and it should convert properly.
