Resolved PowerPoint PDF Conversion Not Hyperlinking

Hi all,

Help! ;-) Office 2007.

I've got an issue with a Powerpoint presentation a user of mine created. Here's what he did: He created a PPT file. Then he created a second PPT file. Inside PPT 1, he hyperlinked directly to certain pages in PPT 2. Similarly, in PPT 2, he hyperlinked back to PPT 1.

When presenting PPT 1, everything works fine.

However, we now need to convert the whole thing to PDF and post on our website. He has Adobe Acrobat 8. So, we open PPT 1 and "print to pdf ". It does so, BUT all the hyperlinks going to PPT 2 are gone and flat text. SO obviously this doesn't help.

Can someone help, please? This is a budget-related document we need to release as soon as possible. Thanks!

Chris

 

I think you're right, and we never found a solution. We just ended up combining the two presentations into one.

 

hmmm "“ thought MS included Save As - in PDF or XPS format - as an Office 2007 update.

In any case you can get the addin here.

As Arie said "“ using the print function won’t work. But SAVING as a PDF will preserve the hyperlink.

Just noticed marked as resolved - will reply anyway for next person.

 

It does indeed. But then I've got Acrobat installed as well so whether it installs by default or gets installed with Acrobat, or you have to do it manually, I'm not sure.

In any event, as ephemarial says, if its going to have any chance of working it'll have to be saved as PDF not printed to PDF.
