Word For Mac 2016 Convert To Pdf Hyperlink

How to retain hyperlinks when converting Word docx to pdf Is it possible to retain hyperlinks when converting a Word 2016 for Mac docx document to pdf? This thread is locked. So, there I was, happily typing away in my Mac version of Word and then later in Mac Pages, completely unaware of the horror that I was going to experience when I went to convert the document to a PDF.

While converting a Word document to PDF using the Acrobat ribbon (Acrobat > Create PDF), using Mac Word 2016 (Word 32-bit, version 15.23.2 or later), the following problems may occur: • Two conversion dialog boxes are displayed instead of just one. The “Allow online file conversion to open and export to certain types of file?” dialog box with Allow and Don’t Allow options appears first, and then the Acrobat PDFMaker conversion dialog box appears. • In the “Allow online file conversion to open and export to certain types of file?” dialog box, if you click Don’t Allow, the PDF conversion fails with the error message “Links are not retained.”.

Well if you have an Intel Mac it will require and cost the following: Parallels about $79 bucks a Copy of VISTA or XP (if you can find it) $400-500 dollars. Office2007 PC another 2-300 Bucks.

Acrobat 8.1.2 PC another 3-400 bucks. Unless you give up your Mac programs you can not cross grade to from one platform to the other.

So you must by new of everything. Then and only then will you have the ability. You also will have the ability to pickup, the privilege of receiving, 100 Gazallion different Virus, Trogans, worms, adware, and spyware attacks every hour you have windows running. Reader will not do the conversion. The problem is that Microsoft never put in the hooks in Macintosh Office so Adobe could develop the PDFMaker technology it developed for Windows Office. You would need a Windows version of Word. You could run that under Parallels or Fusion on an Intel Mac, or using Boot Camp in Leopard.

The conversion takes place using scripts running within the Office products. In fact, Microsoft removed all scripting abilities from the Mac products.

You can complain in the Microsoft forums. Found the setting to make embedded links convert nicely and works in pdf 1) in word go to the top menu 'Adobe PDF' > 'change conversion setting' 2) Select 'word' tab and enable: - Convert cross references and table of content to links - Enable advance tagging and save the setting. Note: Doing the above will increase the pdf conversion time.

I converted a 165 pages.doc to pdf and took about 20+mins (did not really time the process but it was a long time.) Hope that helps Vincent.
