Still losing links when I save a MS Word doc to pdf on my Mac. Neither Apple nor Microsoft were of help. I do NOT want to have to go back to a PC. Help, please? Thank you!

Pages is good sometimes but loses some formatting like tables and some docs have 20+ links so recreating links using Acrobat Tools is not always a good option. Any software I can try? Any work arounds? Current work around is email docs to myself and saving as pdf on husband's home PC and emailing accurate pdf back to work. Ridiculous. Neither Apple nor Microsoft were of help. I do NOT want to have to go back to a PC. Help, please? Thank you!
