List of abbreviations using Acro + Hyperref package

Question

I want to get a list of abbreviations where the acronyms have a hyperlink to the list. As far as I understood, the acro package should work with hyperref and do what I want. Unfortunately, my example is not working as I expected. Can anyone tell me how to get a list of abbreviations with working hyperlinks (at best, using the acro package)?
documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{amsfonts}
usepackage{amssymb}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{acro}
usepackage{hyperref}

DeclareAcronym{cd}{
short = CD ,
long = compact disc
}

begin{document}
section{Test}
ac{cd}
newpage
printacronyms
end{document}

In order to link the acronym to its entry in the list of acronyms, the acro package offers to make-list boolean when used in combination with the hyperref package. Initially, it is set fo false which is why you don't get the hyperlinks in your document.

Thus, adding

acsetup{make-links}

to your preamble will result in the expected hyperlinks.
