MS Word to PDF randomly reassigns links to figures. And the pagination is also off too

Exporting PDFs from MS Office on Macs has always been dicey.  That's because Apple prevents some tools that Windows versions of Office (and Acrobat) have.

It also means that updating your software may be critical to correct these problems.

• The latest version of Word for Mac is 16.80 (See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-for-mac)
• The latest version of Acrobat is 23.008.2042x released a couple of weeks ago. (See https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html) 

Next item to check is how you're making the PDF. Can you give us the exact steps you're taking? What are the settings in the dialogue boxes?

Do you need accessible tagged PDFs? Print/press PDFs? Or just general-use PDFs?

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
