Links (both web URLs and email address links) in PDF were formatted in blue color and underline (the way they were in MS Word) but they were not clickable. It was important for me to make these links in PDF work. So, I asked Google and did a bit of research on it. I found that this problem was faced by many people. In several forums plugins and online PDF services were suggested as the solution of this problem. I tried installing a few plugins in MS Word 2007 to be able to print PDF with clickable links. These plugin included word2pdf free version. I also tried online PDF services like pdfonline but no luck! Links in the PDF file still refused to work. I also tried standalone software like CutePDF, but still, links did not work! However, thankfully, soon I found a solution! If links are not working in your PDF, you should use the Export feature of MS Word 2013 or Save As feature of MS Word 2007. When I exported my ebook as a PDF, I found that all the links in PDF were intact and clickable. Open your document in MS Word 2013 Go to File menu and then select Export To option. Then click PDF or XPS. Save the file. Open your document in MS Word 2007 Go to Office Orb button in top-left corner and then select Save As option. Then click PDF or XPS. Save the file. The message from this small tip is that, you do not need any third-party plugin or online PDF creator to print the PDF file. Just use built-in facility in MS Word and links in PDF will work without any problem. If you have a document that you created with any version lower than 2007, you can always find a machine with 2007 or 2013 and get a PDF file with perfectly working links. I hope this was useful information for you. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions on this topic. Thank you for using TechWelkin. Requirement I create an “index” file that holds hyperlinks to folders on the local Windows file system. The index file sits in the “root” folder together with all the folders that hold the various documents. The idea is to create a complete distribution (1 zip file) with index file, folders and documents in the various folders. The distribution can then be sent, unpacked and all components accessed via the index file. It’s meant for people with less computer skills. The above works well for the creator. The creator can correctly access the folders via the “index” file. However when the distribution is unpacked and the index PDF is opened by a person other than the creator the links don’t work. Hovering over the links in the index file shows the absolute path is stored rather than the relative path that is used say when you link a file into Excel and so the links break as the person will have another folder structure than the creator. Do you know of a way to make the hyperlinks relative? hyperlink in a pdf file in a file folder works, but when uploaded to website it does not work, Please help me.
