How to convert a *.docx file to *.pdf
that works EXACTLY like in WORD?

After converting with ADOBE tools it is missing:

-click at the bottom of the page on the footnote number and jumps back to the text

-after hovering over the footnote number a balloon appears with the footnote text
"footnote tooltip"

This is not the fault of the pdf browsers, because I checked in several and none of them displays this.

No file format works like another, especially since they are not intended for the same purposes.

Can you go to the Acrobat tab in Word, click "Preferences", and post a screenshot of each of the tabs in Preferences so we can see the settings you are using?

Use the Insert Image button in a Reply window (mountains and sun).

The export options in WORD do not matter.
No matter what program I use for conversion in desktop or online version, the options described in my 1 post do not work as in the original *docx file

PDF files don't have such an option built-in. You can reproduce it using a script, but don't expect it to happen by itself when converting the file from Word to PDF. As mentioned, the two formats are quite different and many things that are possible in Word are not in PDF, and vice versa.

It's strange that neither WORD nor ADOBE or other companies' converters can correctly convert bottom/endnotes.

Only LibreOffice can export to pdf with:

-click at the bottom of the page on the footnote number and jumps back to the text

But unfortunately it shows the *.docx file incorrectly
(no lines at footnotes, different numbering font at the bottom of the page in footnotes-this can be corrected, sometimes different division of pages and tables, no rotation of horizontal page numbering)

These are not some elaborate features of WORD, but ordinary functionality used in writing dissertations.
