Default Bug with Hyperlinks in Word 2016

Hello,

I'm having a problem with Hyperlinks when exporting a document in PDF, using "File > Export > PDF"

The Hyperlink is not created in the PDF, even existing inside Word, only when it has field codes in the selection

It can be seen with a simple test:
  1. Create a blank document with various pages, and put a bookmark in one of then
  2. Then, go to other page and insert a field with any code. It could be, for instance, the code "{ DOCPROPERTY NameofApplication \* MERGEFORMAT } that shows the name of the application (Word)
  3. Now, select the inserted field and insert a hyperlink, setting the "destiny" in the same document, on the position of the bookmark created in Item 1 of this list.
  4. The hyperlink is created without problems. However, when exporting a PDF ("File > Export > PDF") the hyperlink is not created in the exported PDF. This does not happen in Word 2013

Is this really a bug, or there is a solution for this problem?

If I didn't made myself clear in the steps above, I may show images, and sorry: english isn't my first language.

thanks.
