I've made an excel file with 2 sheets and put hyperlink on sheet 1 to a cell
on sheet 2.
Then saved it as pdf.
When I open the pdf I can see the hyperlink blue, but it does not work. Is
there a way to make a hyperlink work in pdf, so it can jump to the other
place in the pdf file like it does in excel.
Hope it's clear what my problem is.

I don't have the option to save to PDF but I can print to a PDF file.
If this is what you did, what you have is a Picture of what the excel sheet
looked like. you will have to go into acrobat and make the appropriate
changes to have hyperlinks work.
maybe someone else knows of a different version of print to PDF file that
would do what you want??

Just had this occur. Microsoft has a PDF add-in. Go to Office OnLine -
Downloads - Search for Save to PDF. It is pretty close to the top.

The program works perfectly!

I'm running 2007 and I have the add on, meaning I 'Save to pdf' so I'm not
printing to pdf.
Maybe it's just nok possible to make hyperlinks work in pdf without using
acrobat to change the pdf document. It's just that it's blue in the pdf
document just like it should work, but it doesn't.
