Links: I would like to link from an excel-sourced pdf to a section with a
word-sourced pdf. I had assumed that the standard excel interdocument linking
command would work from the excel source to a Word bookmark target:
=HYPERLINK("file.doc#bookmark3","linkname"). It works perfectly in Excel, but once converted to PDF using PDFMaker, the links do not work. I would prefer to put the link in the source (excel) file, and not the PDF as they may have to be updated in the future. I have the feeling that not only is the link functionality getting stripped out of the PDF, but also the Word bookmarks which are the targets are getting stripped out as well. My pdf solution would need to retain both the link functionality plus the target to work.

You had a response at your first post.
