For whoever's interested: I just got around to installing OpenOffice. Seems if I convert one of m,y plugin rtfs to a doc, in word, then feed it through OpenOffice WP and export to pdf, links are mostly preserved.
There are a bunch of options in pdf conversion dialgo I haven't got my head around. I therefore might look into making pdf docs in addtion to other formats when/if I ever update plugins for other resons.
