The other day I needed to create a PDF file. I had written my latest e-book on Secrets of Successful Blogging in MS Word. This ebook contains a lot of very useful links for the reader. Before publishing it, I wanted to convert this MS Word ebook in PDF format. There are several methods available for such a conversion. Now even MS Word has built-in support for PDF printing. So, it should not have been difficult at all for me. But I created the PDF file using a third party plugin of MS Word. PDF file was all fine but a strange problem crept in. Hyperlinks given in the MS Word document were not working in the newly created PDF.
Links (both web URLs and email address links) in PDF were formatted in blue color and underline (the way they were in MS Word) but they were not clickable. It was important for me to make these links in PDF work. So, I asked Google and did a bit of research on it.
Powerful PDF Editing On Your Mac Add signatures, text, and images. Make changes and correct typos. OCR scanned docs. Fill out and create forms. Export to Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint. PDFpenPro v12 Now Available. Make sure that the artwork is to your liking, because we’ll be using this slide as a template for the others. Step 2: Add Buttons. To add buttons, draw a shape over the items you want to make clickable. Combine shapes in PowerPoint to create a single shape. Edit points to create more customization. If you want to get fancy, use the Bezier curve. Next go to the Animation tab at the top of the PowerPoint window and make sure you have your Animation Pane open. In the Animation Pane click on one of the Font Color animations – you’ll then see at the top of the Animation tab that you have the word Triggers. I use Word for MAC 2011 and have had the same issue. Stupid thing is that ever since the most recent MAC Office update, I can no longer save Word docs as a pdf and have the links retained. Thank you so much for this suggestion to google docs as a workaround. Finishing a 70 page document and having the links inoperable is UNACCEPTABLE.
I found that this problem was faced by many people. In several forums plugins and online PDF services were suggested as the solution of this problem.
I tried installing a few plugins in MS Word 2007 to be able to print PDF with clickable links. These plugin included word2pdf free version. I also tried online PDF services like pdfonline but no luck! Links in the PDF file still refused to work.

I also tried standalone software like CutePDF, but still, links did not work!
However, thankfully, soon I found a solution!
If links are not working in your PDF, you should use the Export feature of MS Word 2013 or Save As feature of MS Word 2007. When I exported my ebook as a PDF, I found that all the links in PDF were intact and clickable.
Open your document in MS Word 2013
Go to File menu and then select Export To option. Then click PDF or XPS. Save the file.
Open your document in MS Word 2007
Go to Office Orb button in top-left corner and then select Save As option. Then click PDF or XPS. Save the file.
Links in PDF will work if you’ll use built-in facility of MS Word.
The message from this small tip is that, you do not need any third-party plugin or online PDF creator to print the PDF file. Just use built-in facility in MS Word and links in PDF will work without any problem.
If you have a document that you created with any version lower than 2007, you can always find a machine with 2007 or 2013 and get a PDF file with perfectly working links.
