Add-on of the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker DC in Office 2010 Word does not store the bookmarks in the form of links

I want to try Acrobat CD to see if it will generate PDFs from Word 2010 documents and preserve hyperlinks to bookmarks between documents correctly. I don't get work as I hope.

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise. I have Adobe Acrobat installed DC (the trial version).

I see the problem as shown in the following steps:

  1. Open Microsoft Word 2010
  2. Type a new text on the first page, but without adding a hyperlink yet.
  3. Save it as "origination.docx".
  4. Close this document.
  5. Open Microsoft Word 2010 again.
  6. Add text to the first page.
  7. Type CTRL + ENTER to insert a new page and on the second page, add text (it comes to check that the navigation between documents using hyperlinks on the bookmarks navigates to that favorite and is not just get stuck on the first page).
  8. Add a bookmark called "bookmark1.
  9. Save this document under "destination.docx".
  10. Close this document.
  11. Open the document "origination.docx".
  12. Insert a hyperlink to an existing document, and then select document "destination.docx". Click Favorites, and then select "bookmark1. Click ok:http://i.stack.imgur.com/fthuv.png
  13. Save this document.
  14. Select Acrobat menu, then click on create a PDF file:
  15. Click the Options button and in the window, select Convert favorite Word, and then click Ok and click Ok again.
  16. This saves the pdf file and then open it in Acrobat.
  17. Then I see this:
  18. Only one left clicking this link does nothing.
  19. Double left click on the link does nothing.
  20. Right mouse click on this link brings up a context menu that does not show that it is a link:
  21. That's why I can't do anything on this link is what I expected: I think it's a link, but instead, it's just text that happens to have the color of a hyperlink (blue).
  22. I opened the origination.docx and inspect the properties of hyperlink. Placing the cursor over the link in Word 2010 says:
  24. Right mouse clicking on the link and selecting Edit the hyperlink:
  26. Shows:
  27. The bookmark is correct as far as I can tell: I see destination.docx #bookmark1 in the address field.
  28. Click Ok.
  29. Then CTRL-click on the link to make sure it opens on "destination.docx", and he successfully navigate this bookmark in Word.

So, what's the problem here?  Must Acrobat DC some additional preferences changes so that it works?

Thank you

(OT: there is no way to download files other than videos and images; otherwise I had to provide the .docx files).

The option that you chose "Create bookmarks" aims to create bookmarks in Acrobat, which is a completely different concept of Word bookmarks. Is it creates bookmarks? The option isn't about bookmarks to links, and it is not clear that it should work.  Acrobat and PDF has never supported links TO a bookmark in a PDF document, somehow. Bookmarks are a feature of navigation manual, not a destination.
