Save as Adobe PDF without active Hyperlinks in Office applications
We are trying to create a PDF document without active Hyperlinks since the PDF will be sent to external sources and persons.
We/I have tried to use Save as Adobe PDF, print to Adobe PDF and other options through Adobe utility but all document created do have active hyperlinks in them.
We do not wish to have users click on the hyperlink and navigate to that particular site.
Current workaround is to create a PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and save it again.
We cannot ask our people to do that manually each time for each document since they create PDF file 4-10 on each process.
Please create an option to create a PDF with any hyperlinks.
thank you.

Hi
You can create PDFs from Office applications without active hyperlinks by unchecking the “Add Links” option in Acrobat Preferences in the Office PDFMaker addin.
Let us know if that resolves your problem.
Thanks

I don't know if my advice is relevant to the post. The step below will remove all URL links from the PDF document (I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro). I hope you find the information to be helpful.
1) select the Edit tab from the top toolbar
2) Preferences
3) General
4) uncheck Create links from URLs (located under the Basic Tools category)
