I am not sitting at the computer where I have Acrobat 4.0 (patched)
installed,
however; I'll do the best I can from memory.  (I could probably use some
more/
better RAM, though <G>.)

The first time I converted a .doc to a .pdf, I also ran across this
problem. To fix it,
highlight the hyperlink, then click the button that looks like chain links.
That is the
Acrobat hyperlink tool. Within this tool you can change the appearance of
the link
and define the action the link is to initiate when clicked on. (The
appearance variables
include invisible and visible rectangle, among [perhaps] others.)  In my
case, I wanted
to link the page to a URL.  This is one of the action choices. When chosen,
the next
step is to click on the button below this in order to enter the URL. Once
this is done,
click on "Set link", and the link will be "live".  (I'm not exactly certain
of the labels on
the buttons within the link tool, but once you use it, you'll get the
idea.)

Creating the links 'from scratch', as it were, in Acrobat is done in the
same way.
