I'm making an eBook that is full of aff links. I have everything typed up in Word and I save it through PDFCreator. The links I put in Word don't work when I open the file in Adobe Reader. Do I have to do something other than use Word's hyperlink feature to get links to work when I save the file as a PDF? Thanks.
 


they should automatically just show up unless you have them disabled in your adobe reader.
Click Edit >>
Preferences >>
General >>
Check Create links from URLS
OK

I checked and that was already enabled. I also viewed the PDF in foxit reader with no success.

In Word, I didn't just leave the links like "http://www...." I replaced it with text that linked somewhere. (i.e. Play Poker Online!)
 
Yeah I had the same problem, I know exactly what you mean. If you had the word CAR you want the link to have your aff link and not show.

The only way I got around it was to use Acrobat full version and edit the links .

I searched and downloaded a ton of pdf drivers and had no luck.

Maybe there is another way around but I dont know.

Let me know how you get on.
 
adode has a pretty good pdf creator if you want to create a pdf from a website. You sign up with email and they let you make the first 5 for free. You could probably just paste the word document into an html page and do it like that. I've used it and know that the links will work.
