Sorry this is a few days after the thread--but I finally got my e-mail
working again.

I don't know whether this has any relevance to the problem (because I
don't know your setup), but it has been my experience that the Adobe
PDFMaker for Word works much better if everything (the document that you
want to convert to PDF, the PDF destination folder, MS Word, and
Acrobat) are all physically located on the computer you are working
from.

There have been many times when I've tried to create a PDF from a
document located on one of our network drives using PDFMaker. Sometimes
it works, sort of, but without creating any links, and sometimes (more
often) it hangs. But if I copy the document to my own hard drive, I can
usually create the PDF, links and all, with no major problems.

(If you are working with a large Word document that has a lot of links,
PDFMaker can take quite awhile. You need to be patient.)
