Export Hyperlinks from Excel to PDF

Question

Dear support,

I've an excel file that contains several sheets. The first sheet is like a Table of contents for the remaining ones. It has got a specific header to each individual sheets.

I inserted a hyperlink in each header to navigate easily throughout the file. I have also home button in each sheet to return back to the first sheet (Table of Contents).

I want to save this file as a PDF file with all hyperlinks preserved, so I can also do the navigation easily in the PDF file.

I tried the following:

 1. file/save as PDF

 2. click on acrobat button and then select the sheets/convert to PDF

 3. Print/adobe PDF

I'm using:

 Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (32-bit)

 Microsoft office 2019

By the way, I was able to do the same job with word and PowerPoint. Though, I need it with excel.

I appreciate if you know how to solve this.

Thanks in advance.
