Question

Create PDF from Word preserving hyperlinks and showing Tracked changes

Hi there,

I am trying to create a PDF from a word document.  It is important that the created PDF has the hyperlinks in the Table of Contents preserved in the PDF document.

It is also important that the "tracked changes" (sometimes referred to as legal blackline) visible in the created PDF.

I am able to "print" the document and see the tracked changes in the PDF but in this case the hyperlinks are not passed to the PDF.

I can "create" the PDF and the hyperlinks all work fine in the PDF but none of the tracked changes are visible in the PDF.

However neither option is giving me both.  It appears that the Create PDF option is changing the word document to hide all changes before crating the PDF and I cannot find the options to stop this from happening.

Any useful suggestions that anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

I am using

MS Office 2010 Pro

Acrobat XI Pro

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

many thanks,

Owen

Instead of using Acrobat XI Pro, use Acrobat Pro DC. And save your word document as a PDF (go to "File > Save as Adobe PDF" and in the save adobe PDF file as dialog box click on the "Option" button and check "Covert Word headings to bookmarks" and click Ok and save, It is able to see the track changes as a red line and the hyperlinks work fine. thank you.
