Maintaining hyperlinks on PDF creation

Hi!

When I convert a MS Word document (MS Word 2004 for Mac) to a PDF document, using Adobe Acrobat (v. 8 for Mac), the hyperlinks that were inserted into the Word document are not present in the PDF document (hyperlink text is present, but it is not clickable or colored/underlined as it was in orig. Word document).

Please inform me of any setting in Acrobat or Word that I may need to change to get the hyperlinks to carry over properly during conversion.
I really don't want to go through all of my PDFs that I have created and re-insert hyperlinks manually, as there are TONS of them..!

Running OS 10.4.11 on an iMac G5

Thanks!!!!

Thanks for the tip, Natobasso, but this is a Mac OS X forum. That link seems to be about Word 2007 for Windows.

Any suggestions for those of us on Mac OS?
 
Julie, yes I know; I've been here for 7 years now. :) Sorry about the bad link.

I've got it! Download http://www.openoffice.org (it's free!) and open your word doc. Then simply export to pdf (File menu) and the link persists! I just tried it on a file I created in MS Word 2004, which I have on my comp, and it worked!
