Hello,
I have a 1000+ page MS Word document that I'm trying to convert to PDF.

If in MS Word I select Adobe PDF > Convert to Adobe PDF my system hangs. (I've let it sit for over 2.5 hours with no progress.)

I can easily print to a .prn file and then distill the file to create a PDF. However, when I do this method, the PDF comes through with no hyperlinks and no bookmarks. Are there any conversation settings so that this method will create the hyperlinks/bookmarks?

Given the size of the PDF, hyperlinks/bookmarks are extremely important. Any other ideas/tips would be appreciated.

thanks,
Kara
