There have been many of us frustrated, trying to figure out HOW to get the hyperlinks we created in our Word 2007 documents to remain active once we’ve created a PDF file.

Here’s how it’s done…

First, create your hyperlink text OR image in Word 2007, as seen in image below:

Once your Word 2007 document has been completed, and you’re ready to create your PDF document… go to Save As… (as shown in image below)

Select PDF option, as shown above… and save your PDF file to a folder where you can find it. Test your links… they’ll work!

To create a hyperlinked image, go to Insert menu, select Picture… as shown in the image below:

Select your image… (for this example I’ve selected a PDF icon)… and click the Insert button.

Once the image is in your document… you can right mouse click your image, as shown below:
