Well, I've found a partial solution, but it still
doesn't work quite right. By using Open Office, I was
able to create a document with a link to a web page in
it. However, it only works when the link is the full
URL address. When I try to rename the link, then the
link only works in the OO document and not in the PDF
file exported from that document.

Hummm ... How can this be corrected?
