Please forgive me if this has been requested before. I have done a search
can't find it.

I have a Word document with a table of contents. As I click on each item in
the toc the cursor jumps to the correct place in the document. Great.

When I convert the document to pdf using the real Adobe pdf printer driver,
these hyperlinks are not transferring.

If I put a normal hyperlink into the document, e.g. to a web site, these are
appearing and working correctly in the final pdf.

How do I make it so that if a user clicks on the relevant toc item in the
pdf, the cursor jumps to the relevant page in the pdf file?

Many thanks

Stephen

That would be an option somewhere in your PDF creation software, not in
Word.  For example, various versions of Adobe Acrobat allow you to
choose to preserve hyperlinks and/or enable tagged PDFs in the
conversion options.  You might also try converting to PDF using the
Acrobat toolbar in Word, instead of printing to the PDFMaker or
Distiller printer drivers.

Many thanks - it was the Enabling of tags that did it - slowed the creation
process down significantly though !!

Sincerely

Stephen
