I've searched online for an answer, but can't find anything.  I jus started noticing that when I save a Word doc (2011 for Mac) to a PDF, the links in my document no longer work in the PDF.

Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

In Windows Acrobat's PDFMaker migrates Office hyperlinks to PDF Link annotations.

This involves a Windows OS - Office application - Acrobat interaction that is not available for the Mac.

Be well...

Best option was one provided in the thread to use Dropbox.  Open the document (docx) from within Dropbox using your browser and Word Online.  Then print the document from within Word Online.  This will automatically render the document into PDF format complete with all active links and custom document formatting retained.  Then download this pdf document to your desktop.  This is the only solution that has worked for me from completely within a Mac environment.  Alternatively, if you have a partitioned drive using Parallels, you can open the document using Word for PC and save to PDF which does the same thing.
