Citations not linking to references in PDF export from Word

Hello everyone,

I’m currently writing my Thesis in Word using Zotero for reference management. In Word, all citations and the bibliography appear correctly, including active URL links. However, when I export the document to PDF, the in-text citations are no longer clickable and do not link to the corresponding references in the bibliography.

From my understanding, citations generated with citation tools should ideally be linked to the references so that when you export it from Word to PDF and clicking on a citation in the text would navigate directly to the relevant entry in the bibliography section.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Is there a way to ensure that the links between citations and bibliography are preserved during the PDF export?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or solutions!
  • Some tools do this (in Word and PDF); Zotero (and many others) never has. You can find one threads on here with custom.scripts that do that type.of linking
