After generating Adobe pdf file, the links to from the items of the table of contents to the chapter of the documents do not work.

In fact, any links do not work within the document.

Using the latest Adobe Reader version.

Previously, everything was ok.

Scroll down to my reply with the links - it's possibly the version of Word being the problem and needed to downgrade to an earlier version

This is a know bug, introduced with the September 14 update of Adobe Acrobat / Adobe PDF Maker.

Affects all internal hyperlinks (TOCs, cross-references, footnotes).

How does you create the PDF file?

Acrobat Reader can't create PDF files.
