Hyperlinks on images in PDF from Word 2010
- by Bristol
I've got a Word 2010 document that I'm trying to convert to a PDF with "Save As...", preserving hyperlinks. Something odd is going on:
Hyperlinks on inline text, or images that are inline, work fine.
Hyperlinks on images with layout "in front of" text don't work in the PDF, same for hyperlinked drawing shapes.
What I'm trying to do is make a "clickmap" image by putting an image on the page and overlaying parts of it with transparent shapes that hyperlink to different URLs. This isn't working, and the transparency has nothing to do with it - hyperlinks in the PDF seem only to work on "in line with text" elements.
Am I missing something, or is there a better way to do this?
