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 in this week.
When you use the word online editor and use save as pdf if it works,
Best Regards,
Update: There is Workaround. Thanks to the people of the adobe forum https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/toc-and-cross-reference-links-are-not-working-in-.... I reverted the latest update office 365 (Version 2109 (build 14430.20234)) and installed Version 2108 (build 14326.20348) and it works.

Use Export -> Create PDF/XPS and choose the Standard (Publishing online and printing) option.
The Print to PDF approach tends to include only what is necessary for printing - not document structure information.
See how it goes.

@Clouded_Agaricthanks. However I found there are a couple issues with this approach.
1. After you set "Save as type" to PDF, then an "Options" button appears on the Save As dialogue, and from there you can select a page range, start to end. However, you can't enter a selection of pages, such as using section identifiers, as in "S1,S10-S20", which you can from a print dialogue.
2. The image quality is poor. Of course I selected the option to optimize for "Standard (publishing online and printing)", however the image quality degrades significantly. This document has a lot of images designed to be zoomed in for more detail, and they are much more fuzzy. The advantage of printing to the printer "Microsoft Print To PDF" is that image quality is retained, without any degradation. That is probably also why in my tests those PDF's are much larger.

Hi everyone - I also had trouble with save as to PDF and the table of contents not working so I reversed the process and opened Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. It is a very easy fix until the fix with Word is updated.
1) Click on Create PDF
2) Under Advanced Settings make sure Bookmark links are checked
3) Click on Create
Take note that Adobe may be slow to respond and some patience may be needed when creating - I couldn't see any "spinning gears" or anything showing that create was in process but it appeared to be working in the background.
