Ron, I'm not sure if I'm understanding, but.... If you create a
hyperlink in Word and convert the document to PDF using Acrobat, the
link goes to the Internet.

My apologies if this has been covered before. A co-worker wants to
create a pdf with clickable links within a PDF so that if "Click Here"
is a link, clicking on it will open the link, which in this case is a
link to another document within an intranet. I've found that explicit
links i.e. html:.//whatever links work fine, but not implicit ones. Does
anyone know how to create a PDF in which such links work? Creating a pdf
from Word or Acrobat doesn't do the trick (at least the way I am doing
it).
