I have a document produced with Word 97, containing links within the contents page of the document, to sections within the document, using Word's bookmark feature. (These links were created using Word's Create Hyperlink to a Named Location in the File feature)
I then use Word's print feature, selecting as the 'printer' PDF995 (Supplied by Software995), to convert the Word document to .PDF format.
This works fine, except that the links within the resulting .PDF document have disappeared. The links within the document's contents page show up as underlined words, but the .PDF hand toll does not change into a pointing finger tool as it should for an active link.
How do I make the links remain in place as active links within the .PDF document?

Hi Jeeva, you can't do that using PDF99
You will have to get Adobe PDF writer.
