Question How to create a pdf with links to bookmarked locations which get activated after clicking a table

Hi, I have a file with several bookmarks, but after conversion to PDF I can't use them to jump between bookmarked pages. Can you help me create a file with working, clickable bookmarks which jump to the specified location after conversion to PDF?



In the attached .doc file there are some tables. I wanted for the links to other parts of the same document to work when user clicks anywhere within a table so I've simply added bookmarks in proper locations and then linked them to rectangular shapes with transparent infill that I've drawn over each table (the borders are there temporarily, I will turn them off in the final version).

The attached .jpg image titled "Example struct" shows how I've planned to link the tables.

Next, I've created a .pdf file by clicking:

File-->Export-->Create PDF/XPS-->Optimize for online mode or printing-->Options--> checked "Create bookmarks" and selected "from word bookmarks"-->Ok-->Publish

See attached .jpeg file named "ExportPDF" for clarity.

The attached pdf file is the output file. It does have the bookmarks but I can't activate them by clicking on shapes.

I could swear I've been able to do what I've described above with the same workflow a year ago but I must have overlooked something this time.

Cool

I've managed to figure it out. I've noticed that one of the files I've converted atually works as intended. It turns out that the problem was the file extension I've used.

The workflow I've presented in the original post works like a charm for .docx files but fails miserably for .doc files.
