I converted a Microsoft Word document successfully. However, I had one "mailto:" hyperlink that did not convert correctly. In the word document, the email address is in the form: FirstName.LastName@NotARealAddress.com. This link does work correctly in the word document. When I converted the document to PDF it makes the entire email address look like a hyperlink, but only the "LastName@NotARealAddress.com" is actually an email address hyperlink. So it knocks off the "FirstName." although that part is still blue and underlined.

From a programming perspective, it appears that a "." is not included as a valid character for an email address. So the "." and anything before that does not get put into the "mailto:" hyperlink.

same problem, but it appears that any character stops the firstname appearing in the conversion.
