PDF links not working when uploaded to Creative Cloud

Hi

I created a PDF using Acrobat Pro and added page and web links which all work perfectly in Acrobat. However, when I upload to cloud docs and share the file, the links don't work. If I download the document from cloud the links work again. However, this seems to defeat the purpose of sharing files with people via cloud as I might as well just send them the PDF file. Is this a bug or just not a feature of cloud? Thanks.

The people should use Acrobat Reader to view the shared file.

Thanks Bernd and yes the file works in Acrobat Reader no problem. However, my issue is if I share a cloud "synced" PDF then the links don't work. They have to download a copy and then open in Acrobat. This then adds another step meaning I might as well have just sent them the PDF directly (some of the people I'm sharing with are not the most tech savy). The neatness of sharing via cloud is I don't have to send them a large file, it's one click to view the document and works great on both desktop and mobile. Just a shame it seems to limit functionality.
