Convert Excel with internal links to pdf

Question

I am trying to convert an excel with internal links(i.e. links to different places within that same excel) to a pdf. I have gone through the several posts available online i

Answer 1

Solution to keep internal and external links that works:

1. Install Office 2013/2016
2. Install Adobe Acrobat PRO 11 (for Office 2013) or Adobe Acrobat DC (for Office 2016)
3. Open Excel file and use "Save as Adobe PDF" entry from the File menu. Screenshot below. This pops up another dialog where you select sheets for saving. Main idea is to have Adobe Add-in active inside the Office ribbon and File dialog.

Works like a charm! Finally!
