No longer active links in PDF exported from Word
A month ago, I could export/create a word-doc with a photo with an embedded link as a PDF/XPS doc and in the PDF-doc the link was still active.
I now notice, that Word now offers the possibility to save as Adobe PDF, but I don’t want to buy Adobe, so what shall I do? Will Microsoft restore the ability to export so links still work in the PDF-doc?

When exporting a PDF in Word, check Options > Use headings when creating bookmarks, and ensure that File > Options > Advanced > Preserve fidelity when saving > Create PDF/A-Compliant file is not enabled.
