How to generate clickable pdf from microsoft word?

Asked By Anthony M McFarland 0 points N/A Posted on - 05/26/2015

I am working on a document with several images. I would like to refer to them im the document in other sections and hence have used cross references well. But, the links are not working. When i click in the document the link directly takes to the referenced image but once i export to pdf file format directly from the microsoft Word options, the links no longer work. I want the click behaviour retained in pdf file too. Can any body help me in this issue and provide any hints or tools which i can use to get rid of this problem

How to generate clickable pdf from microsoft word?

So, you saved your Microsoft Office Word document into PDF format using the Save As option within Microsoft Office Word. Supposedly, it should work fine when saving the document in PDF format with all the images you have. But I don’t know with the links. If it failed after you tried saving it using the Save As option, try installing Foxit Reader.

It supports Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. When you install it, it adds an extension to Microsoft Office Word that allows you to convert a Microsoft Office Word document into PDF format. Foxit Reader adds another menu within Microsoft Office Word called Foxit Reader PDF. To use it, start Microsoft Office Word then open your document. After that, select Foxit Reader PDF tab then click Create PDF.

It will then convert the current document into PDF format. Maybe it should fix the issue on the reference images.
