[Hidden-tech] Word to PDF preserving TOC links

[Jan Werner]

Adobe Acrobat PDF Maker for Word will do that automatically. If you have 
installed Acrobat Professional, it should have installed itself and you 
will have an "Adobe PDF" menu item in Word. You may need to change the 
settings for PDF Maker (Adobe PDF/Change Settings).

If you have created your Word document using styles for headings and 
item identifiers, you can also convert headings and selected styles to 
bookmarks in the PDF file. That allows users to display a hierarchical 
navigational bookmark tree in Acrobat  which makes it much easier to get 
around than links from the table of contents.
