Cannot save hyperlinks from Word 2000

[EinSchwabe]

Hi, I use Microsoft Word 2000 and Adobe Acrobar XI Pro on WIndows 8.1. I must convert a Word file (.doc) to a pdf file and want to save the hyperlinks. Unfortunately, after converting the file into a pdf file the links don't work.

For instance, I opened Adobe Acrobat, clicked on create, clicked on create pdf from a file and chose the Word file. But it doesn`t work.

If I open the folder with the doc.file right click on the doc.file and click on convert into adobe pdf, the links will not be saved, too.

I also tried to edit the pdf file in Acrobat afterwards and insert the links again, but don't see a possibility to hyperlink only some specific words or sentences.

What can I do now?

In Microsoft Word, go to the Acrobat tab and click Preferences. In the Settings tab, check (tick) Add Links. Check the settings in all four tabs. Then click Create PDF from the Acrobat tab.

If Word 2000 has the older interface (I can't remember), then it is in the Acrobat toolbar instead of the tab.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Yes, Word 2000 (uses .doc files) has an old interface. Unfortunately, I don't find the toolbar (nor the tab) there. Can I install the toolbar of Adobe Acrobar XI Pro in Word 2000 or is the software not compatible? If yes, how can I install the toolbar? (Adobe and Word are already installed on the PC).

Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

Office 2000 seems not to be supported. So how can I solve the problem with the hyperlinks without the tab or toolbar? Do you have an advice?

Upgrade office AND Acrobat to the latest subscription version. Compatible software for Acrobat 11 or Office 2000 alone is no longer sold.
