Re: Word 2003 to pdf WITH active links

Walter, Thanks for your, and many other people's, suggestions. I've 
reinstalled each program twice and see the PDFMaker files being installed, 
then they are gone. 

One of the whirlers sent me the PDFMaker.dot file and that seemed to fix 
it. The icons were back, but didn't work. 

Our IS dept is thinking that a recent push of a Microsoft update may have 
caused it. I think that it could be a company script that disables Word 
macros. There is also the possibility that all of the alpha/beta/crap 
software that I've loaded on my box, to write about, could have caused a 
compatibility problem. Regardless, it's not solved. They are putting some 
big gun programmers on it this afternoon.

I seem to recall some compatibility problems between Office 2003 and 
Acrobat 7.0; this ringing bells with anyone else?

Wendy, you seem to have confirmed that the PDFMaker add-on wasn't 
installed. You might try un/re-installing Acrobat to see if that solves 
the problem. If it doesn't, download and install all available Acrobat 
upgrades (I think there's a 7.0.5 and a 7.0.7).

Perhaps that will do the trick.

You mentioned that you tried to generate the PDF using the same method 
that you'd use with Frame, but I don't think you mentioned the result. Did 
you get a PDF? If so, I doubt it contained bookmarks and active hyperlinks 
within the document. The "print to PDF" option can be used to convert any 
printable file to a PDF, but the drawback is that you won't get 
embellishments such as bookmarks and hyperlinks (unless the authoring tool 
is Frame). 

Good luck!
