Hyperlink to Figures

Anonymous

I know how to cross reference to figures and hyperlink to titles, but the hyperlinks to figures only work within Word.  Do I need to do cross reference and then set a bookmark in order to hyperlink in the printed PDF version?  I have XP, 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 available to me but anything I do needs to be backwards compatible.

How are converting to PDF? When I test this in Word 2013 and using File | Save As to create a PDF file, hyperlinked cross-references to figures are correctly cross-referenced even in the resulting PDF.

    I tried Acrobat Pro 9 and PDF-XChange 5, but forgot about the saveas PDF in the newer versions.  It is not available in older versions such as XP, but I can use newer ones for printing to PDFs.  It doesn't format as hyperlinks, but I can do that manually.
