PDFWriter makes misplaced links

Hi all,
I have Acrobat 4, with update to 4.05 on two Windows 2000 systems.

By converting a MS Word file to PDF by using PDFMaker, I always get missplaced link boxes. (see attachment to verify)

I tried on both computers, one is running Word 2002, another is running Word 2000, with the same result.

I remember, though, that PDFMaker was working correctly on the old Word97.

Is there any solution to the problem (while avoiding to buy a newer version of Acrobat?)

Thanks in advance.

Let's see, you are running a version which is over 6 YEARS out of
date on an OS that it wasn't fully approved on with a Word processor that
it never saw before...and having problems with it...hmm...

How about upgrading?!?

What is preventing you from upgrading?

upgrade price, I hoped there was some cheaper solution.

Otherwise I'd keep the missplaced boxes or avoid rendering links at all.

Although Leonard is right in saying Acrobat 4.05 is ancient, it is however compatible with Windows and Office 2000. (But do not upgrade these without upgrading Acrobat)

In word go to:
tools>options>compatability tab and deselect the
'use printer metrics for layout' option.

This will reflow the layout of you Word documnt one more time so checkif the layout is still intact.

Then go to file>print and choose Acrobat distiller as your printer (if it's not the default printer) close the print dialog box without pritning.

Then use the pdfmaker together with distiller (ignore pdfwriter from now on) to create the pdf.
