The protected area affectively disables the mouse click action.
So your link would not be enabled.

Try unprotecting the header before you save as PDF

Thanks for such quick response...

converting word to pdf is automated process, as soon as server receive
file it try to convert it.

the process is:
1 user create a doc save it and submit to server
2. server picks-up file and try to convert it

any suggestion to get that work?

"embedded" URL means... adding a hyperlink to text

here the process...

1. create a new document
2. add header and footer to it, in header add a text saying "Goto Web"
3. select the text "Goto Web" and right click and select "Hyperlink"
option and add url to it
4. now save the document
5. create pdf out of it, you notice that "Goto web" does not have
hyperlink in it!   - in pdf it shows as normal text

do you have any idea/suggestion how to get it working?

-----------------

as your last reply, "This is the point at which you have to take
action " what exactly i suppose to do?
