I have to say that I LOVE my Mac! My husband talked me into spending the money on one about 3 years ago when I was in grad school. I'm soooo glad he did! I would never go back to a PC after using a Mac. It was worth every penny. However, sometimes it takes me awhile to figure out how to do things on a Mac. It does seem like there's always a way I just have to figure it out.
It took me awhile to find the answer to this dilemma, but I now know how to make a clickable link on a PDF file on my Mac. I would always put the links in my Powerpoint document but the links would get lost once I saved it as a PDF file. I thought I was going to have to break down and buy Adobe (way too expensive). There is a solution though!
*Edited to add - If you have updated your Mac to Mountain Lion, this will no longer work. The new update has taken this feature away from Preview. :(

Totally agree with you on the Mac thing. I used to HATE them in college. Then I got a job teaching and the computer they gave me to use is a Mac. Now that I have figure out how to use it, I LOVE it! Like you, I never want to go back to a PC.

I'm having a 2-0-0 follower giveaway - come on by!
One question though - I tried to do exactly what you said and after I've saved a version, I go back to my PDF and it doesn't link to the site I want - just apple.com! What do I do in order to correct this? Thank you!!

Hmmm....I'm not sure why it would do that. Are you sure you pasted the link in the URL section? Sometimes technology can be so confusing!
