I am trying to publish a newsletter both online and in print. After
converting the Publisher file into a PDF file, all the hyper-links become
inactive.
Is there a way to keep this from happening?

It doesn't work that way - although................. I just upgraded my
Reader to v7 and it recognized email addresses and showed it as a hyperlink.
(I used Acrobat Std 5 to create the .pdfs and did NOT make the link.)

So can/will each link have to be manually reconfigured if the online version
of the newsletter is posted as a pdf?

Yes, it will. You can't depend on all of your readers having v7. And I'm not
sure what happens to URLs. Let me check.....

OKAY - REVERSAL OF STATEMENT!!! *If* your readers have v7, the URLs and
email addies are linked without you doing anything. At least mine are. They
do NOT appear as a link tho - the cursor changes to a finger when I pass
over the address.

You can't depend on everyone having a system that will support v7 so you may
want to make the links manually.
