Preserving TOC Links Word>pdf

[Art]

Is it possible to export/restore the page navigation links that are
embedded in table of contents (also of figures and tables) entries when
creating a pdf document from Word ?

Acrobat can recreate any embedded hyperlinks in the document via the
"Advanced/Links/Create from URLs in Document" command, but it doesn't
pick up the TOC/TOF/TOT links.

TIA.

Hello Art,

Unless something has changed in the last 6 months, the answer is: it isn't
supported in the Mac version.

I understand it may be in PC Word. Stick around and someone else may well
confirm (and possibly amend my comment above).

Hi, Clive.
Thanks for the confirmation.

I did discover a work-around for this:

Import the Word document into OpenOffice. OO has extensive capabilities
for creating pdf's including automatic bookmark generation from TOC
entries. Embedded hyperlinks can be automatically created. With an extra
step, hyperlinked TOC's can be created as well.

The OO pdf export command has a number of controls for image resolution,
pdf view settings, security, etc . This saves the additional steps that
would need to be performed by post-processing the pdf in Acrobat.

Art,

Looks like no-one is going to contradict my post, unfortunately. But
thank you so much for this work-around! It will come in *very* useful on
occasions for me.
