I found out that when I use columns in a Word document, often the
hyperlinks do not work in the pdf file after I used PDFMaker to
convert my Word document to the pdf file. However, sometimes the
hyperlinks are converted correctly. I have not (yet) been able to
figure out why the hyperlinks are converted correctly in some
documents and aren't in others.

Has anyone else experienced this and hopefully found a way to
correctly convert the hyperlinks when using columns?
