my adobe reader files are opening in word

Nor is it possible to get acrobat to convert all files in a set of sub directories. It's possible to save as pdf from within the macro but not to save as pdf using the acrobat add-in (acrobat have removed this facility from acrobat XI and possible earlier version of acrobat). Following this I need to reconvert the word docs to pdf for use. This may seem a trivial issue however I use a word macro to scan a complex set of subdirectories all containing word documents, each word document is opened and some actions done and then resaved. The latter I believe is the correct behaviour. If I then load each pdf into acrobat reader then the pdf generated by word opens hyperlinks in a web browser whereas the pdf from acrobat opens in acrobat reader. One by using 'save as' and selecting pdf and the second by using the acrobat add-in. I can use the same word file and create two pdf versions.

Unfortunately the problem is not solved by changing my browser. How do I get hyperlinks in pdf documents produced by Word to behave correctly ? Hyperlinks are recognised by Nitro as well as by acrobat.Ĭonsequently there appears to be an issue with hyperlinks in pdf documents created by Word 2013. The next document opens in whichever pdf reader I am using (and not in chrome). If I take the same word file and create the pdf using nitro then the the hyperlinks behave as expected. If I view the pdf file using my pdf package (Nitro 9) then the blue hyperlink whilst appearing blue does not function as a hyperlink.įinally if I validate the pdf as part of a submission package using the eCTD EURSValidator tool the pdf is flagged as being non compliant because it does not contain the required hyperlinks. If I disable the pdf plug-ins in chrome then clicking on the hyperlinks just brings me to a save file dialog box. When viewing the file using acrobat reader then clicking on the links in the pdf opens the next document in the default web browser (chrome) rather than in acrobat reader. I have been using Word 2013 to create documents with hyperlinks which are then saved as as pdf.
