Possible for Acrobat XI to compile html code to create hyperlinks out of "regular" words?

Hi,

I've downloaded Acrobat 11, which I used to convert to pdf a Mac Word 2011 document that contains some html code like this:

<a href="http://www.adobe.com">Adobe's website</a>

I want the html code to be "compiled" and clickable so that when one clicks on the words "Adobe's website," one is connected to the website. 

Is this possible to do in Acrobat XI?  I have dozens of such examples throughout my document, so I would prefer an automated method.  I did try to use the "Add or edit link" function in Tools, but that's not an automated method, and I was confused about how to properly use it, since it wanted me to draw a box.

thanks for any advice you may have
