How can I disable the hyperlink in pdf format from Adobe Acrobat?

Not at all... here's a suggestion:

Remove the hyperlink in the html file.

Start your favorite text editor, open your html file with it and remove <a>, </a> and anything that's in between them.

well i think it might have something to do with the messy thing about html where you can only save it as text (ie you can't save an html page with a lot of pictures as a sihgle file, unless you use IE that is...)

shame though that pdf actually has no universal standard. i haven't had much problem with pdfs but i have heard that the spec changes with every new version of acrobat, to the point of incompatibility, which irritates me.

I didn't get any hyperlinks in the pdf version of my webpage.  I used free software to make it.

Just follow the directions on the page.

Nice page there mO'b. Another way to do it is to create a Samba PDF print queue. I have set this up for a couple of companies where they connect to the Samba PDF print queue as if they were connecting to a Windows shared printer and use the standard HP Color LaserJet PostScript print driver. They can print anything to the print queue and they immediately get a message in their mailbox with a PDF attachment of their print. They can get a PDF of anything they can print. Works pretty slick.
Someone please remove this account. Thanks...
