[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1585197, member: 320225"] It depends on the PDF engine used, but generally this is not the case: hyperlinks are preserved, when Print -- Save as PDF is used: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-05-29at100349_zpsb922e0cf.png~original[/IMG] [I][SIZE="2"]This is in Preview ^^[/SIZE][/I] Interactive, I am not familiar with MS Office, but I thought all office suites have a built-in PDF creator - [URL="http://www.openoffice.org"]OpenOffice[/URL] and [URL="http://www.libreoffice.org"]Libre Office[/URL] certainly do. If the problem persists, it might be worth checking these out - great software, not to mention it's free. There could be a couple of reasons for hyperlink not to work, as far as I can see: [LIST] [*]Security settings prevent any hyperlink to function in a PDF document, so the question would be: do you have any other PDF files, with working active hyperlinks? [*]Word might have placed restrictions on Save as PDF function in the print menu. To verify this, can you try to create a PDF file from, say a webpage, like the one above? [/LIST] What does the Tools | Show Inspector tells you under PDF Producer in the problem file, in Preview? [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-05-29at101716_zpsa930670b.png~original[/IMG] It could also be 'Acrobat PDF Maker for Word' - I've just looked through a few docs, sent by a colleague who, I know, is using Microsoft digital contraptions ;P [/QUOTE]
