They *should* work in a PDF produced from Word as long as they are valid URLs. But I admit that I've never tried it with PDFs as the target in the URL.
To see the underlying URL for a Word hyperlink, it should just be a matter of toggling the field to view the field code (the URL string plus a little bit of code enclosing it) rather than the result (the link string displayed in the document). Word lets you do this globally (for *all* fields in the doc, which means x-refs, TOC fields, index fields, and all sorts of other stuff) or for the field where the insertion point is. The keyboard shortcut for the view toggle is Shift+F9, and to go global you just do a Select All beforehand. That should give you the kind of global update capability you're seeking. -FR ________________________________ From: Framers <[email protected]> on behalf of Rick Quatro <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 22, 2017 3:12 PM To: 'An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software.' Subject: [Framers] OT: Word links to URLs Hi Framers, I have a Word project where I have references to other documents. The text in Word has the title, but I want to create a link to the document's URL on a web page. Here are my questions: 1) When I put the links in Word, will they work in a resulting PDF? 2) Is there a way to internally (perhaps with VBA) see the Word text and the corresponding link URL? Some of the URLs are changing and it would be useful to be able to batch search on a title and replace the link's old URL with the new one. I have about 160 Word files so I would like to be able to apply some automation here. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide. Rick Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc.
