Save the document, File -> Save as.If you want to view an 8 minutes video instruction, please see the following website where I personally found out how to do it: Click on the Hand icon/symbol button in the Adobe menu (top of page), which removes the colour marking around the rectangle.Ĩ. Click next and enter the hyperlink destination/Internet address.ħ. Select 'Invisible rectangle' under Link type, and select 'Open a web page' under Link action.Ħ. Mark the section/word(s) in the PDF document that you want to convert into a hyperlink.ĥ.
Select (in Acrobat) Tools -> Advanced editing -> Link toolĤ. Convert the document to PDF and open it.ģ. Write the text you want to become hyperlinks as normal blue and underlined words in your Word document, so that they look like hyperlinks.Ģ. However, after some searching on the Internet I found a very effective workaround, using an Acrobat feature to manually add the links once the PDF file has been created.ġ. I tried all of the above, but still could not get Acrobat 9 to convert text hyperlinks in Word to working links in PDF.
