How do I create a hyperlink to open a document in a new window?

My operating systems is: Windows 7

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

I have created a user guide in MS Word 2013 which contains hyperlinks to other documents.

I print to PDF but the hyperlinks are no longer accessible as they are converted to text once the guide is turned into a PDF.

Adobe Tools has a Add or Edit Link tool; I have tried several times to create a link using this tool with no success.

The documents I am trying to open are located on a intranet sharepoint site.

Please help if you know how to add a hyperlink to open a document from a weblink.

Thank you
