Excel hyperlinks not working after convert to PDF

[cowinkidink1]

I am using your Acrobat Pro XII trial version, I am running Excel 2016 for PC.  I have hyperlinks in my excel form and when I convert it to PDF they do not transfer over.  I have tried "Save as" a PDF and also "Print", save as PDF, convert the Excel file to PDF using Adobe PDF maker. none will work. 

Please help.

Links exported from Excel to a PDF are suboptimal in Adobe Acrobat DC if the link is in a merged cell. Merged cell links may not work or only work in one area and not others where the text is or is not. Be sure your link is in a unique cell for best results. Using PC, Excel 2016.

So I've been having a similar issues.... this may apply to you as well... I thought I had an issue, until I realized that it is hyperlinking to PDF **BUT** because I merged a bunch of cells to fit the hyperlink, it only recognized the first cell in the merge. Basically, simple solution was to unmerge the hyper link text, then insert the link across several cells, instead of just one cell. The text will still show up across all the cells, as long as there is no text in the cells adjacent to it. I hope this helps...

I read through the list of 'solutions' and none of them worked for me. What I ended up having to do is save the file as an html page and then print the html page to PDF. This ended up converting the hyperlinks to PDF. I know it's a little bit of a hack, but it worked for me. Hopefully this is helpful to someone else.

I have tried every way possilbe using Excel and can't get it to work. What I did do what import my spreadheet into google docs, and then "download" the spreadsheet as a PDF. That maintained the hyperlinks.
