Hyperlink has extra dashes added when converted to PDF from Word

I'm on a Mac (10.6), using Word 2011, and when I convert a doc containing two rather long hyperlinks (one noted below) extra dashes get added during the PDF conversion process (Print to PDF or Save As) and the links are clickable, but are no longer correct so it goes to an "Oops" page.

 

I saw someone mention that this feature does not work on Macs. Is that true?

 

I found a work around of pulling the pdf into Acrobat Pro 9 and then inserting a link on top of the bad one(s) (Tools/Advanced Editing/Link Tool), but I'm trying to understand why they didn't work in the first place.

 

Here's one of the links (it doesn't seem to matter whether it has http:// or not...tried it both ways):

 

www.khanacademy.org/video/describing-the-meaning-of-percent?playlist=Developmental Math

 

When I convert it to PDF from Word, the link becomes:

 

www.khanacademy.org/video/describing--the--meaning--of--percent?playlist=Developmental Math

 

Any ideas why that might be happening?
