How do I preserve links in a pdf?

I create a monthly newsletter in Word and then save it as a pdf to send via email to subscribers. However, none of the internet links I include for my subscribers to follow seem to work once the document is converted to pdf. How do I keep them live? I am using a Mac. I have tried copying each link and pasting it back in place using the Paste Special option of save as html format, but does not seem to do anything different.

    When you choose File>Save As and choose PDF as the format, you will see 2 options: Best for electronic distribution... and Best for printing. The first option preserves hyperlinks.

    By default, it should be saved in the same folder as the original document.
