Creating Hyperlinks in CS5

Hello, I created a hyperlink from a text box in CS5. When I look at the page in preview and click on the hyperlink it works fine. When I export as an interactive PDF the hyperlink works fine. When I export as an SWF file (along with an HTML file) I view the file in a browser and when I mouse over the hyperlink the arrow turns into a hand, but when I click on the hyperlink it does nothing. Help. Thanks, Alan

Also, you can setup local Apache server and test it without uploading your files everytime to web.

Hi
Create two links one Back and one Next in each report.
Drag two free standing cells in the report and use opendocument syntax to create the links.
The thread Re: Hyperlink Back functionality may give an idea.

With InDesign CS6 I cannot re-work a table in a file created with InDesign CS5.5. The half of the table disappears when I try. Any idea why?

No idea why that would happen ...

How to create hyperlinks in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to create hyperlinks from within Acrobat 9 Pro? If so, can you let me know how? I am having a hard time finding out how to do so.
Thank you in advance for your help:)
Christine

I did this from the advanced menu to make all hyperlinks work. All I got were boxes around my links that are not clikcable to the web page.
Now I cannot undo this.

How to automatically create hyperlink destinations based on numbered list?

I am very new to InDesign and am creating a template for an academic journal. Each article contains a list of references at the end and the references are cited in the main text (like what you see in Wikipedia if you are not familiar with scientfic journal articles). In exported HTML, the citation in the main text should be hyperlinked to the coressponding reference in the reference list. I have two questions:
1) It is possible to ask paragraphy style to assign each numbered item a hyperlink destination? If this is possible, I can then manually inserted hyperlinks in the main text.
2) one step further, is there any way (e.g. script) which can then insert hyperlink to those destinations based on pattern match? For example, in main text, the citation to reference #1 appear in the text as [1] which should be hyperlinked to reference #1.
One more question, is there anyone who knows how academic journals handle the flow from InDesign to html? Certainly, the exported html cannot go directly online without further editing.
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
I posted the script here. But it should be adjusted to your particular document. (Anyone with basic scripting knowledge can do this). I am sure it won’t work as it is. I assume that “comments” and “references” are in two different stories.
Can I have the scripts from you (for a fee or free)?
I don't sell my scripts: they're free.
Can the scripts handle the pattens like these [3], [1-5], [3,4], [6, 8, 11-13]?
This script can't, but another handles both single page numbers and page ranges like so:
I can post it as well.
Now I’d like to make one thing clear:
I made a set of scripts for creating hyperlinks in InDesign documents for further exporting them to ePub/HTML. I can’t make a script that would work for everyone because all books are very different. I simply adjusted scripts for every book I had to work with (mainly changing GREP expressions and names of styles) and I have numerous variations of scripts. I can post them if someone is interested but you should be aware that they have to be reworked.

My customer wants to create hyperlinks in the editor - surely this is possible? And, if so, how?

My customer simply wants to create hyperlinks when adding content to her site; this doesn't seem possible within the Muse editing interface. It must be, surely? That's the most basic thing to do with a web page.

At current stage In browser editing does not includes hyperlinks , but that’s definitely a request we hear often. Unfortunately we can’t comment on what features are coming to Adobe Muse, but please know the team is listening!
Thanks,

Problem in create Hyperlink

Hi All,
I create hyperlink by finding http and www in my active document.                //Works well
But the problem is, if the url or websites contents coming twice or above then I found error   //not able to create hyperlink source with the same name
i.e., www.gmail.com (comes 2 or more time in the document, then the below code is not working fine)
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
//Find http and www
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(?i)(http|www)\\S+[\\l\\u|\\d]"
var myFound1 = myDoc.findGrep();
count = 0
for(k=0; k<myFound1.length; k++)
    var myFind = myFound1[k];
    var myHyperlinkSource = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.add(myFind)
    var myHyperlinkURLDestination = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add(myFind.contents)
    var myHyperlink = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkSource, myHyperlinkURLDestination, {name: myFind.contents})
//    var myHyperlink = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkSource, myHyperlinkURLDestination, {name: myFind.contents+count++})
Please find the screenshot for your more references.
Please help to find the solution.
Thanks in advance

I solved this problem by adding an incrementing number in round brackets if a hyperlink name is already taken.
Another (simpler) solution is to put "add hyperlink" line into try-catch block, but in this case you'll have a default name if the error occurs.
Here's the function:
function MakeHyperlink(text, url) {
    if (url.match(/https?:\/\//) == null) {
        url = "http://" + url;
    url = url.replace(/\.$/, "");
    var name = text.contents;
    var oriName = name;
    if (doc.hyperlinks.itemByName(name) != null) {
        var increment = 1;
        while (doc.hyperlinks.itemByName(name) != null) {
            name = oriName + " (" + increment++ + ")";
    try {
        var dest = doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.itemByName(name);
        if (!dest.isValid) {
            dest = doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add(url , {hidden: true});
        var source = doc.hyperlinkTextSources.add(text);
        var hyperlink = doc.hyperlinks.add(source, dest, {highlight: HyperlinkAppearanceHighlight.NONE, visible: false});
        try {
            hyperlink.name = name;
        catch(err) {
            //$.writeln(err.message + ", line: " + err.line);
        if (hyperlink.isValid) {
            hypCount++;
            if (set.tempColors) source.sourceText.fillColor = swatchOK;
            if (set.charStyle) source.appliedCharacterStyle = charStyle;
    catch(err) {
        errorsCount++;
        var swatchProblem = MakeSwatch("===== PROBLEM =====", {
            model : ColorModel.PROCESS,
            space : ColorSpace.RGB,
            colorValue : [255, 0, 0]
        text.fillColor = swatchProblem;
        //$.writeln("Error message: " + err.message + ", Line: " + err.line + ", URL: " + url);
        arr.push("Error message: " + err.message + ", Line: " + err.line + ", URL: " + url);

Creating hyperlinks to pdf docs on a CD. Anyone experienced in doing this?

Need to create hyperlinks to pdf documents in a CD. The pdf docs were created using an older version of Adobe and I am trying to follow a YOuTube instructing me how to create hyperlinks in the Table of Contents on the CD. The instructions on the YoTube do not match what is in the document for creating a hyperlink. Do I need to send and save all documents as NEW adobe pdf.s??? Thanks!!!

Garbled text when creating hyperlinks

I have a user who is creating hyperlinks in the Table of Contents of a 500 page PDF to pages within the PDF. After 10-15 hyperlinks, she gets strange characters and garbled text on some of the pages. If she saves and closes the document and reopens, she can go back to working but it will reoccur soon again. She is using Acrobat 9 Professional on Windows 7 Enterprise. She has the latest updates for Acrobat. Any thoughts?
thanks

Most of the document was converted from Microsoft Excel 2007 documents. The Table of Contents was converted from Microsoft Word 2007 document.
