  • check the web site to see if they disabled their links. Many sites do that.

    some PDF converters have problems with the links being disabled during the conversion. I use Open Office Writer, and it converts Word documents to PDF with the link intact. You can download it at openoffice.org

    I've never got them to work in the footer, even with adobe acrobat, if that's what your trying to do. Unless some else knows how to do it.

    Use a pdf printer. You write your document and when you're finished, you hit CTRL+P, select the pdf printer from the list and it saves the file as pdf (just like printing it to regular paper then scanning it to pdf files and merge them)

    Hope it helps,

    I use open office but I find you have to hit enter after you put in the html info. If I don't, it isn't clickable.

    OpenOffice will fix this problem. I also use a pdf printer called PDF Factory which I love. It even works in headers/footers!

    If you want to send me the file (assuming its not overly large), I'll be happy to regenerate the .pdf using Adobe Acrobat. I don't recall seeing links not work in .pdfs I've created. PM me for the email address.

    Some (such as pdf creator) will only leave the links intact if they begin with http:// or www.
    if you are using anchor text the links don't work.
