Re: Some hyperlinks are not getting linked

Some hyperlinks are not getting linked

I am using the current version (7.0.328.2 ). In Word-2007 DOCX documents that I am printing to PDF, most hyperlinks are being converted to links, but some are not. Also, for links that span more than one line of text, the hyperlinked text on the first line is not being included as part of the link (...

That's a different program (not sure which one of Tracker's it is). In the PDF XChange Standard printer driver for making a PDF from within a Word doc, that choice doesn't exist - as shown in this screenshot.
