Most PDF converters support hyperlinks. Then you protect the PDF file like described in the chapter PDF.

 

If you use a converter, which does not support it, you can use the freeware tool PDF-T-Maker. http://www.transcom.de/transcom/en/2004_pdf-t-maker.htm

 

PDF T-Maker

Word Documents with Hyperlinks to other Word Documents need a special converter. This converter is a plug-in in Word and creates a Postscript file with hyperlinks.

 

Technically, there are these steps:

 

 

1.Create Postscript file with PDF-T-Maker

2.Create PDF file, using the Postscript file, with any PDF tool. This step can be done automatically after step 1

 

You can download the converter here: http://www.transcom.de/transcom/en/2004_pdf-t-maker.htm

After installing the plug-in in Word, you have to configure it:

 

•General Tab. Check: Convert Cross document links, thereby convert .doc in filename into .swf

•Default Postscript Printer: If you do not have a printer installed, either find one on the web page described in the pdf-t-maker documentation or install one that comes with Windows (e.g. Brother HL-2400C BR SCRIPT2 - use LPT3 to print as a virtual device)

•Default Destiller TAB: If you have Acrobat installed, define Acrodist.exe or the distiller of your PDF tool. If you do not have any PDF tool, download PDF creator: http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator/

 

If you need a batch conversion, e.g. conversion of all files on a specific subdirectory, please contact www.transcom.de and ask for the batch conversion option.

 

 

 

A Hyperlink may not contain an umlaut (äüö) or any other special characters like %$
