Save Microsoft Word 2010 document as PDF and preserving inter-document bookmarks

Question

Using Microsoft Word 2010, on Windows 7 Enterprise Edition, without any PDF-generation COM add-ins/add-ons installed:

Is it possible to save documents that have hyperlinks pointing to bookmarks in other documents preserved if all documents are saved as PDF? By "preserved" I mean that opening up the resulting PDF document inside Acrobat Reader and clicking on the link will open up the destination and scroll down and position the resulting document view on that bookmarked location?

I think the answer is no, so this is to get confirmation on that. Here is why I think it is "no":

When I open up the resulting PDF file in Acrobat Reader DC, and click on the links, the links do not actually open up the destination PDF document at the destination bookmark. They only just open up the destination pdf document to the first page.

The links in the originating document are formatted as follows (this is from the Edit Hyperlink dialog on the originating .docx file):

The some_destination_doc.docx was then saved as a PDF file, and using the Save AS, PDF, Options, Create bookmarks using, Word bookmarks option:

Note that I do not have any COM Addins for PDF generation installed, such as what presumably comes bundled with the Adobe Acrobat DC non-free application. This question is just to find out if it is possible to get this to work using a "stock" install of Office 2010.

Answer 1

This worked for me in Word 2013:

Note that the heading "third page" is just a random heading I made on the third page of a blank document. The link worked for me in Sumatra PDF and Adobe.
