Preserve a hyperlink in PDF. Solved

Question

Hello  I created a .doc document to convert it to .pdf, I use PDFcreator.  Unfortunately, the hyperlinks in the Word doc are not preserved... you can't click on them....  How can we fix this? Thank you

Toto · Accepted Answer

I confirm that it does not work with PDFCreator. PDF with hyperlinks is possible with Adobe software but it is paid or for free on conv2pdf.com.

What version of PDF Creator do you have? Because I've tried them all and the links are not preserved.

The free, open, and clickable PDF is possible!  As stated in the following article: https://framalibre.org

Bob · Answer

It doesn't work with PDF creator for links attached to a word! Only explicit addresses like www.

hi download OpenOffice here: http://fr.openoffice.org/ then open your .doc with it (you may need to redo some formatting) then you convert it to pdf: File menu/export as pdf OOo can keep hyperlinks on words (I just checked with a mailto link) -- (_Usul d'Arrakis  Serial_Dreamer_)

Hello!   I want to create a document in Open Office, convert it to PDF, while keeping relative links to other PDF files.   With version 2.0, no problem, the relative links are preserved when converting to PDF.   However, when I click on a link to open a PDF file, it opens in the same window as the first document.   How can I make it open in a new window?   Furthermore, when I created my link in Open Office, I made sure to indicate that it should open in a new window ("blank")...   Thank you for your help!

I know of one, but you need to change your way of creating a document!!!!  If you are ready to unlearn what you know about word processing, and invest some time in learning the source codes for professional-quality PDF documents, then check out TeX-LaTeX, which is free, open-source, and has a great community... However, forget your Word or OOo files, but you'll see, it's the best once you understand the basics!  ftp://ftp.laas.fr/pub/Logiciels/latex/flshort/flshort-3.20.pdf

Hello,  For those with Office 2007: in Word, save as PDF or XLS, save the .doc as .pdf, the paragraph links and hyperlinks are preserved. Simply,

Ron · Answer

The solution is actually very simple and I wonder why no one has mentioned it :-) Install Open Office (Free) http://fr.openoffice.org/  Then open your Word or Excel file with Writer or Calc  and start creating the PDF simply (to keep the links check: Export relative file system URLs)  and it works 100% and free and legal  Now, it's your turn!

I had the same issue, so following the advice above, I: - created my links in Word (too complicated in Open Office) - opened my Word document with Open Office Writer 3 (the links remain) - reformatted my layout (it shifts quite a few things, especially the bullets) - did: file - export as PDF  And THERE, the links indeed remain. Because I tried by doing file - print - PDF Creator, and there the links did not remain.  Otherwise, if you want to stay in Word, you can save the document as a web page (in the file menu) and the links also remain when using PDF Creator. But it's still the same, you have to review the layout.

Hi,  For those who want a free solution that really works to preserve HTML links, there's https://www.sodapdf.com/word-to-pdf/  However, the formatting is LESS BEAUTIFUL... but it works ;D  FRED

MrBean · Answer

Hello everyone,  I also want to convert a Word file to PDF format while keeping the hyperlinks. After looking at all your responses, it seems that the best option is:  conv2pdf.com but the only problem is that it specifies that the file must not exceed 6MB... mine is over 8MB.... :S  Is there a solution to reduce the size of my file? Or is there a site for files larger than 6MB?  Thank you in advance.
