Related to this question without an answer, I'm using the latest PowerPoint for Mac (14.2.3) but when I save a PPTX as a PDF the links are gone. Is there some trick to getting them to remain?
Option A If you have Apple Pages Open the Word 2011 document in Pages. Go to the File menu, select Export, choose PDF from the pop out menu and follow the prompt. Option B Go to the free file conversion web site. Follow their four-step process to upload and convert your Word 2011 document to pdf. Note: url addresses in the Word 2011 doc do become hyperlinks in the resultant PDF. IMO, what we experience is a Microsoft problem NOT Apple nor Adobe.
Can you tell me what I need to do to get the Flash Player updated on my computer? But the steps listed below will most likely do the trick: 1 – Click Start> Control Panel> Uninstall a program and uninstall the existing Adobe Flash Player from your system. It’s running Windows 7 Home Edition.
Rick’s answer: Tammy, Adobe’s software is notorious for problems like this, and Flash Player is probably the most irritating application of the bunch.
(Apple Pages retain hyperlinks.) You can help get the attention of Microsoft about this issue. In any of the Office 2011 applications, go to the Help menu and select “Send feedback about Word/Excel/PowerPoint.” That will take you to their web site page. Fill out the form and submit. Note that you can only choose one product to report on at a time.
Repeat the feedback by selecting each of the other MS Office 2011 applications. Option A If you have Apple Pages Open the Word 2011 document in Pages.

When I generate my font article from Safari directly to the Adobe PDF choices, every single link is lost. If I choose OS X's PDF option, it works. However, then all of the graphic elements get reduced (high JPEG compression). Once saved out of Safari (or any other source) as an OS X generated PDF, then I can open the document in Acrobat Pro and add security, optimize the size, or whatever else and the links are maintained. But the links will not generate in the original PDF output through the Adobe choices.

I've also looked it up on Adobe's site where many users have looked for an answer on the same subject. So far, there is no solution. At least none that I've found.

Links aren't clickable in Mac Preview or PDF.js inside Firefox, however Chrome apparently creates links where it thinks they should exist because it's built-in reader will show the URL as a link.
