Re: Save as PDF problem

Bob Buckland ?:-\)

Hi Mike,

I get the same result (unboxed hyperlink) using either approach.
Do you get the same 'Publish as PDF or XPS' dialog using either command sequence?

Are you using any 3rd party add-ins?

Thanks for looking. While going through the steps to produce the problem I
found something interesting.

If I convert to PDF using File Save As PDF or XPS, all works as it should.

However, if I convert to PDF by clicking on the "Publish to PDF or XPS" icon
which I put on the Quick Access Toolbar, then the hyperlinks are enclosed in
rectangles.

Do you see the same?

Instead of saving the or publishing the doc to PDF within Word, try using
Acrobat to convert the doc to PDF.

For some crazy reason, when I print to PDF from Word, the links don't work.
However, if I open Acrobat Pro (I use v 8), and then use the "Create PDF from
File" option, the links work perfectly. I think that it is because Word uses
an older version of the distiller than does Acrobat.

I get the identical dialog box whether I use the icon or Save As to access
the PDF or XPS add in.

I have two sets of other add-ins. One is a set of 5 add ins that makes up
Endnote X (a bibliography/citation program). The other is Pshmidt's ribbon
customizer.

These add ins are more valuable to me than getting the PDF add in to work
properly (particularly as I now know I can make it work by activating it from
Save As), so I'm going to live with the mystery.

Thanks very much for your help.

Mike

It has always been the case that you have to use the Acrobat add-in to
provide full compatibilty with Word, however the OP is not using Acrobat but
the Microsoft PDF add-in for Word 2007 as stated in his original post.
