Publisher 2002 and PDF

[sstewart]

I created a newsletter in Publisher 2002, then using the right-click "Hyperlink" option I created links to web pages. Then I "print" the document to create a PDF file
In my PDF file, it does not appear that I have any hyperlinks at all. Are they all lost?? Do I need to use the Acrobat link tool to create them again?

Yes.

What if I use one of the other PDF converters besides Adobe? Do they all lose the hyperlinks that were set up??

Yes. PDF is created by using a printer driver, and Publisher does not send
hyperlink information to the printer.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. When I started this publication I didn't realize the Publisher links would not transfer over to PDF or I wouldn't have spent the time there. I have now learned my lesson and will wait until I save to PDF before creating hyperlinks.
