Converting to PDF and "mailto:" command
I've used both. When I used the plug-in the emails were made active. When I use
the convert to PDF from the Acrobat toolbar, the emails were made active. If I print to PDF, I had to manually tell Acrobat to find the emails. (Advanced, Links). You have to open the PDF in Acrobat, not the reader. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "SSK" wrote in message ... This did not work for me. The emails underlined and colored were not read as emails. You used the MS publish as pdf download? and not Acrobat? I read in Acrobat and it does not see the email addresses as email Susan "Mary Sauer" wrote: Hi Susan, I just now saved as a PDF (Microsoft's plug-in) with many email addresses.

Converting to PDF and "mailto:" command
I was just told by a support person that Publisher only works with Outlook
and Outlook express. Could this be true? What about all my clients who want to read pdfs online and may not use these? do I have to buy Adobe Acrobat to convert these so those people who do not use microsoft can access email links from publisher?

is the Reader.

Converting to PDF and "mailto:" command
Mary,
FWIW I have been following this thread, and it doesn't help to try Foxit either. It does not recognize an email that is written out. I tried it with the Adobe reader version 6, and that doesn't work either. Bottom line there is a bug with the PDF Add-in in Pub 2007. When you insert the email address into a Pub page via the insert hyperlink method, use the PDF add-in to produce a PDF, then the link is still active, but when clicked it opens OE (my default email client) it inserts into the address field, which won't work as the OP suggests.

Converting to PDF and "mailto:" command
What the support person was talking about was that sending Publisher
formatted email messages as the message body, in html format, or as an image, only works with OE and Outlook. The PDF is sent as an attachment, and can be emailed with any email client. The email links in Publisher produced PDFs, are active, but as you said, add "mailto:" the address when clicked. It is a bug, and don't know that there is a good workaround. Hopefully this will be fixed in one of the coming SPs. DavidF "SSK" wrote in message ... I was just told by a support person that Publisher only works with Outlook and Outlook express.

My Acrobat is doing the links without the mail to: The add-in works for me too.
