I'm trying to print to PDF from a web page and retain the links. This has to be possible but I'm not finding out how to do this. I'm using "Acrobat 7.0 Standard"
 
I don't necessarily have to 'print'. I can 'save as...' if there's an option to do that. The web page is created dynamically (with post variables) though so I have to be able to do this from the browser (not by going into acrobat and fetching the page).

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.1.4, Windows

Printing is just that printing to a virtual printer and virtual paper.

You want to look at converting the Web page to an interactive PDF using the PDF converter. But since your web page is dynamic there maybe some issues with Acrobat being allowed to get the data. Is there an active PDF converter on your web browser's tool bar?

Thanks for the reply. Your "PDF converter on your web browser's tool bar" gave me a hint. I don't have that in my browser but I'm using FireFox and Chrome. However, when I opened up IE there it was and I was able to convert the page to a PDF and the links remained. I'd rather get that converter into FF but if it has to be in IE then so be it.

Thanks again.
