I am running Adobe Professional 7.0.7.  I've tried creating the
hyperlinks and converting to PDF and I've had someone else try, in case
it was a problem on my computer.  The problem is that when I attach a
hyperlink to a shape in an organization chart or the the text in the
organization chart, when I convert to PDF, there are no hyperlinks.
I've checked my settings, and add links to adobe PDF is checked.  The
hyperlink converts properly if I hyperlink to plain text only. =20

It seems to be related to Powerpoint, since I can attach a hyperlink to
a shape in Word and convert to pdf and the hyperlink converts with the
document.

I have Powerpoint 2003 with SP2.=20

I could get around it if I could figure out how to remove the underlines
from the hyperlinks in Powerpoint, but I can't find any way to do that
either.

The Adobe Reader 7.0.5 is installed on all the user's computers.  I had
someone with just the reader check, they do not have any hyperlinks.

Kathy, are you saying that when you create a hyperlink in PowerPoint, to
a shape or the text in a shape, the hyperlink works? =20

Between this problem and the even stranger problem if I try and convert
it to Flashpaper, I think I'm losing my mind.

But I thank everyone for their help.  It helps knowing I'm not alone.

Ray - this is a good point. I haven't been able to re-create Christine's
problem, but I am running Acrobat 7... Maybe it is fixed in this
version. (I hadn't posted this, as I was hoping the older CDs would show
up and I could test on one of the older versions. Unfortunately, the CDs
are somewhere, but not here in the apartment - or not where I can find
them anyway :) )

Hi Diane and Christine,

This comment may apply to the questions both in this thread and in
"Underlined Hyperlinks in Powerpoint".

The Adobe Reader underwent significant improvement in the version 7
update.
Among other enhancements, both URL hyperlinks and mailto links work more
reliably in version 7.  Upgrading your Reader may solve your problems.
