RE: [stclwrsig-l] PDFs from Word with hyperlinks intact

2006-06-23 Thread Don and Judy
Rebecca:

Might I clarify? You own Acrobat Standard, yes? You aren't depending on the
PDF print driver that comes with Word, yes? I take it, regular Adobe Acrobat
installs itself in Word so that it will generate linked PDFs from a Word
file when the proper plug-in is called into play, right?

At least in Word 2000, from which I have yet to upgrade, the PDF print
driver does no more than create a static, non-html linked product.

The capability of clicking an icon in Word and generating a linked PDF
fascinates me, but is beyond me.

Don,

Actually, it was a lot easier than that. The Acrobat Standard software
didn't install right - the menu options in Word were missing. I un- and
re-installed and now it works fine.

Thanks for the reply.

 Going from Word to PDF, it seemed to me a year ago, would require
something
 more than a printer driver, if you wanted to keep the links alive. PDF's
 straight from Word are neutered. No HTML.

 I bought FrameMaker 7.2. Imported the Word file/book w/o master doc. Had
to
 clean up a lot and learned a lot, recreating most links from scratch, but
 the groundwork was there.

 Now have a slick PDF that will bounce the reader anywhere he wants to go.

 Folks,

 How does one generate a PDF from Word with the links intact? Do you need
to
 have the Professional version of Acrobat?
