WordPress/PDFs and hyperlinks

    I have painted myself into a corner and need help to get out!
    I’m part of a group producing a Neighbourhood Plan (NP) and we have a website. Onto the site we post all our working docs etc. The NP has many appendices – hyperlinks – and they open up the appendix stored on the website – but the appendices need to be PDFs because, if not, when the Word doc is clicked they download instead of opening straight away. OK so far -just.
    The intention was to then put the NP onto the website ( as a PDF for the reason stated plus the doc – 40 pages – has many maps and pictures which I would have to put in manually if I don’t PDF it)
    BUT I’ve just learned that any hyperlinks in the Word docx won’t work once they are PDF’d. Can anyone please advise me??

    we have a website.

    Unfortunately you failed to provide the key thing for getting support and that is the URL of the site referred to starting with http://

    To save you time you can type the actual URL of the site you are referring to into http://whoishostingthis.com to determine who hosts the site so you know where to post for support.

    We provide support only for sites hosted on WordPress.COM servers. You could be posting to the wrong support forum. To be clear we do not provide support for local installs of WordPress.ORG software, or for WordPress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, linked to WordPress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites WordPress.COM account page.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
    See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
