OT: Creating hyperlinks in PDF from Word source doc
Everyone, I have a Word document in which all entries in the TOC are hyperlinked. The problem is that the hyperlinks do not work when the document is printed to a PDF. I'm using the Rich Content PDF job option in distiller 8.0. The Word doc is in docx format opened in Word 2003. I've opend the Rich Content PDF.jopoptions file in Wordpad and verified that it says "/IncludeHyperlinks true", so I don't think it's been tampered with. I may be making this harder than it should be but I don't see any options for solving the problem. What gives?

Creating hyperlinks
Great suggestion (Method 2), Grant! You can take it one step further: In a new file, create separate named text frames on body pages, one for each pasted link. It's not necessary to place the named flows on reference pages. This approach collects all the source flows in one file. If you keep a single master template file for a document set's formats and variables, this is another use for that file.

Creating hyperlinks
Method 1: Create the hyperlink once manually, copy it, then search & replace by pasting. Note: you will have to do some fiddling to get the character formatting standardized; a fix for this it to define a character style (e.g.: "LINK"), and apply it to the source word before you copy it. Updating the style will reset the text. Method 2: Create the hyperlink once manually, and copy it. Create a new text flow on a reference page, and paste the link there. On the Body page, import the flow (File> Import> File... Select file, select Reference page flow: , select "Reformat as plain text") Once the file is inserted, copy that text, and then search & replace by pasting. Advantage to #1: simple. Advantage to #2: changing the link on the reference page will change it for all instances.
