When you type a URL in Word, Word automatically adds a hyperlink. This
is one of Word's AutoFormat as You Type options, and is the default
option. When you save the Word file as PDF, the link is retained in the
PDF.
There is VBA code for hyperlinks, so I assume you can change the
I've found the URLs in a Word doc often don't work when the doc is PDF'd. What
I do is Share the Word doc, select "Email", then "Send as PDF". This starts a
new email message with the PDF'd Word doc attached. Then just copy the PDF and
paste it to the desired folder.
Thank you,
