I need a Straight and to the point answer to a question posed on Adobe Acrobat Newsgroup and it repeatedly comes up.


Say you create a document in Word2004 That have some URL/Mailto links.

And say you create the same identical document in the equivent word Application.

Okay you convert these documents to PDF's

If you veiw the pdf's in the word document all the links are intact, working are colored blue and underlined in the version using PC Word and PC Acrobat.

But the version that was create with Mac Word and Mac ACrobat, all the links are lost and all the text is black with no underlines.

The actual links say http://www.gohome.com are there they are just not links.

I want an honest answer no fudging , no humming , no hawing.

Who has the problem Mac Office or Mac Acrobat?

And if its Office explain why?
