    Excel hyperlinks don't open in PDF
    I have created some hyperlinks in an Excel preedsheet, when I convert the worksheet to a PDF, the hyperlinks are not active. What do I need to do to activate them in the PDF or what is it that I need to do in Excel before converting to a PDF? What am I doing wrong?

    What program are you using to convert to PDF? Are they text links or full URLs?

    I'm printing the Excel worksheet to Adobe DPF driver, the hyperlinks are full urls from my website where we store PDF files.

    You need to have a PDF writer that will create the links. You may need to do more than just proint to PDF. How you activate the links in the PDF depends on the writer you use.

    I have been told that Adobe 8.0 might address this, however I can't seem to get the answer straight from Adobe without paying a fee or first buying the upgrade to get support.

    Converting from within Acrobat will solve your problem since that's what we do here with our industry newsletters.
