Making graphics into hyperlinks, they dont carry over into PDF?

When a graphic is right clicked in Publisher, you have the option to make it
a hyperlink. When that address is entered, it seems to stick with it. The
only purpose I can think of being able to do this is when converting to a
PDF. I can only seem to convert to a PS and have it distilled to a PDF, not
sure if this is killing those links but all the text links to seem to become
clickable in the PDF, just not the graphical ones that I assigned a hyperlink
to. Am I doing something wrong?

whats the point of making graphics into hyperlinks inside Publisher for then?
How would they be used?

don't work with ink :)

So its for having links carry over when converting to a PDF, yet it wasnt
given the ability to create PDFs without downloading 3rd party programs?

Websites, too.

No; last time I checked, you can't have hyperlinks on paper, so printer
drivers don't include them - so the process of going to PDF through a
printer driver kills the hyperlinks. Adobe's PDF add-in should preserve
them, as will Microsoft's solution.

MS has a free pdf add in, if you don't have it just download it from MS.
I'm not sure if it works with all versions of Pub & you didn't state which
version you do have.
