Creating hyperlinks in Incopy

I have created hyperlinks in Incopy and tested them using the hyperlinks panel. The links work. However, when I export to PDF from Incopy, the hyperlinks are not there. I noticed when exporting the PDF from Incopy, there is no option in include hyperlinks. Am I correct in assuming that you can create and test the hyperlinks in Incopy, but in order for the hyperlinks to work in a PDF, the PDF must be exported from Indesign?

Yes, unfortunately, you are correct. :-(

  • [CS3 JS] How To Create Hyperlinks In InCopy?

    I have a client that wants to be able to author hyperlinks in InCopy, both links to named targets as well as links to URLs.
    It appears that the InCopy scripting object model does not include the hyperlink-related objects from the InDesign model, even those those objects can be found in an INCX document if a link is created within an InCopy article within InDesign.
    I'm trying to figure out what the best/quickest solution is given that I can't do it using scripting. I have already implemented a hyperlink creation dialog that emulates the InDesign New Hyperlink dialog.
    Unfortunately, I cannot assume or require that the InCopy users have InDesign installed. If I did I could just create a temporary InDesign doc that linked the InCopy article, create the link there, then save and update the InCopy article.
    Given that, I'm not sure how best to go about this.
    The ideas I've come up with so far are:
    1. Don't create real hyperlinks but use Note objects to capture the hyperlink source and target information. This would satisfy the client's requirement to be able to transform the links on conversion of the InCopy data to XML but wouldn't result in working InDesign hyperlinks.
    2. Modify the INCX document directly to add the appropriate hyperlink objects then reload it as part of the hyperlink creation process. Ugly but should work.
    3. Use XML markup in InCopy to represent the hyperlinks. I don't like this as much as the Note option because it's less obvious to authors what's going on and is easier for authors to mess up accidentally when they are editing.
    4. Implement a full-on InCopy plugin. This is really beyond my current capabilities and the scope of the project.
    5. Log a bug against InCopy to request that the hyperlink objects be added to the API. (Probably not going to give me a result in the time I need, even if it's an appropriate thing to do.)
    6. ???
    Is there some trick or back-door mechanism I've missed that I can use through InCopy scripting?
    Thanks,

    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.

  • Report navigation after creating hyperlink

    Hi,
    I am using Webi rich clinet XI R3.1. I have one main report with six dashboards and associated detailed reports. I created hyperlink for each of the dashboard and linked to detailed report in infoview.
    If i need to see main report i've to close this detailed report.Now how can i make the detailed report open in same window and navigate forward and backward to the main report instead of closing.
    I would appreciate if some one could provide any work around available if possible atleast.
    Thanks,
    Eswar

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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

    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);

  • 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.
