The other day I needed to create a PDF file. I had written my latest e-book on Secrets of Successful Blogging in MS Word. This ebook contains a lot of very useful links for the reader. Before publishing it, I wanted to convert this MS Word ebook in PDF format. There are several methods available for such a conversion. Now even MS Word has built-in support for PDF printing. So, it should not have been difficult at all for me. But I created the PDF file using a third party plugin of MS Word. PDF file was all fine but a strange problem crept in. Hyperlinks given in the MS Word document were not working in the newly created PDF.
If the hyperlink is not working even when we have changed the browser and checked a different email, the issue might be with the email server. A few popular ones like Gmail, Hotmail, etc. Are trusted, but many other local companies might offer services without the functionality to open hyperlinks. Excel Hyperlinks Stopped Working.

Go to select the hyperlink cell, then select the part of the text you don’t need it to be displayed as a hyperlink in the Formula Bar. Then click the Underline symbol to turn the underline format off, and go to select Automatic in the Font Color drop-down list as below screenshot shown.

Step 1: Copy the address of the new file from the file's explorer. Step 2: Head to Excel. Step 3: Right-click on the hyperlink, and click 'Edit hyperlink' in the menu.
Links (both web URLs and email address links) in PDF were formatted in blue color and underline (the way they were in MS Word) but they were not clickable. It was important for me to make these links in PDF work. So, I asked Google and did a bit of research on it.
I found that this problem was faced by many people. In several forums plugins and online PDF services were suggested as the solution of this problem.
I tried installing a few plugins in MS Word 2007 to be able to print PDF with clickable links. These plugin included word2pdf free version. I also tried online PDF services like pdfonline but no luck! Links in the PDF file still refused to work.
I also tried standalone software like CutePDF, but still, links did not work!

However, thankfully, soon I found a solution!
If links are not working in your PDF, you should use the Export feature of MS Word 2013 or Save As feature of MS Word 2007. When I exported my ebook as a PDF, I found that all the links in PDF were intact and clickable.
Open your document in MS Word 2013
Go to File menu and then select Export To option. Then click PDF or XPS. Save the file.
