Table of contents links not working when save as PDF
Hi all, On my system, TOC and Cross-reference links are working in MS Word. But, when the same document is save as PDF, these links are not clickable. Suddenly, these links have stopped working i...
The workaround worked for me, I used this as the Config.xml file:
<Configuration>
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" TargetVersion="16.0.14326.20404" />
</Configuration>
My problem was all hyperlinks stopped working, and rolling back the version restored correct behaviour.
Switching to the Semi Annual Enterprise Channel and using the latest build 13801.21004 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/officeupdates/semi-annual-enterprise-channel)
I suspect the problem crept in the Current Channel September 28 release (14430.20234), which has this in the release notes:
- In certain customer configurations, it was discovered that document exports to PDF or XPS formats from Office would fail due to recent updates. This update fixed these regressions and reenabled export to these formats.
Moving to the semi annual channel means you don't get all the bells and whistles, but at least you get security updates and don't have to downgrade to a potentially vulnerable Office version.
