That would normally indicate the hyperlink wasn't functional in Word, either. The behaviour is what you might get if you had a link to a bookmark, then the bookmark got deleted.

Paul, I agree, that is what one would think... but, the Hyperlinks are working as expected in the original Word document and I can "see" the Bookmarks....

Jim, if you locate that link please include with your next Post.... thanks.

Actually, credit Paul in posting this in an earlier/separate post:

"Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 is available as a free download. See: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/46...at-8-free.html (note the serial# mentioned there)."

Thanks Jim and Paul, I will give it a try when next I am on that PC.

It still seems incredibly annoying that a simple task like converting a Word doc to PDF can be such a hassle. I accept that this is not always the case but then it should never be the case. And if it is then it would be helpful if a popup message provided the user with some useful info as to which setting needs to be changed in order to get whatever functionality isn't working, operational.

That's my grumble for the week.... mutter, mutter....

SOLVED....

What was that about lost Kingdoms and horseshoe nails... sometimes it is the most obvious that eludes us.

The author of this document created the Hyperlinks using the "Existing File or Web Page" option instead of "Place in This Document" option. And I did not notice that.

Therefore when Adobe Reader tried to redirect control to the Hyperlink it needed to "link to a file" which the security settings on that machine would not allow.

So in closing this Thread.... thank you to Jim and Paul for your help and the lesson I have learned from this is - "first look for the obvious before assuming something more complex is going on".
