Hyperlinks on master pages not working after distilling (InDesign CS4)

Hello,
We have started using weblinks in the PDF versions of my print magazine.
As PDFs exported in InDesign are bloated, we use this workflow for creating the PDF issues:
Export print-ready PDFs of layouts in InDesign CS4 (Mac)
Combine PDFs into a single file in Acrobat 9.5.1
Crop pages and export combined PDF as PostScript file
Distill PostScript file in Distiller 9.5.1 using default "Smallest File Size" (with Page Thumbnails) setting
We hyperlink all web addresses in the body copy.
We also hyperlink the magazine's website address on the primary master page (A). All of the other master pages in the magazine are based on A-Master.
We create hyperlinks by selecting the link, using the New Hyperlink command in the Hyperlink panel, and uncheck the Shared Hyperlink option.
When we export the layouts using InDesign – either using our printer's settings or InDesign's Smallest File Size setting – the links contained on the master page work.
But these links disappear when our PostScript file is distilled into a PDF.
I know there is a bug in CS5.5 that can cause this problem. But is there any workaround or solution for this in CS4?
Thanks.

I managed to solve this problem by trashing the CompositeFont folder in InDesign's preferences and restarting InDesign.
Why that should be causing the problems, I have no clue.
Thanks for all the input and help.
I'm having this exact same problem and would like to try your solution, but I can't find the "CompositeFont" folder
I fround the Windows locations info below at http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/indesign-preferences-support-file-locations.html
But I still didn't see any Composit Fonts folder. Do you have any suggestions on where I can look for this folder?
Application "roaming data folder:"
Win 7: C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version [#]\en_US
Preference files saved into this location include the following:
Color Settings: Record of the current application Color Settings, used to sync with other Adobe CMS enabled apps
Composite Fonts folder
Find-Change Queries folder: Contains user-defined find/change queries
InDesign Defaults: Record of application defaults, as defined by user modifications
Menu Sets folder: Contains user-defined Menu Sets
Scripts folder: Location for user scripts to load into the Scripts panel
Workspaces folder: Contains user-defined workspaces, as well as a copy of the Current Workspace

  • Hyperlink to iWeb Page not working

    I have created an iWeb page. I have a hyperlink to the page on a document. The hyperlink takes me to a mobile me error page ie "We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again."
    Yet if I copy and paste the exact same url I have entered in the hyperlink filed into the address bar on Safari it goes to the right page no problems.
    Any ideas please?

    Is that the page you're trying to link to in the PDF document?
    I was able to place a hyperlink in an rtfd text file and and Word 2008 document to your web page that works. The link in the Word document takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get to Safari and open the Page. The rtfd document, created with Bean
    Bean, a great, free word processor, opens the page in Safari almost immediately.
    In Work I used the Insert ➙ Hyperlink menu option and entered the URL of you page and the text to use as the link. For the Bean document I clicked and dragged the link title at the top of your web page onto the Bean page and saved as a rtfd formatted file. If the page is saved as a plain text document the hyperlink is lost.
    Click to view full size
    If I do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF from Bean I get a working link in the resulting PDF file. But with Word the link does not work.

  • Change site master page not working in team site

    For an intranet site I have a heavily customized master page but want to retain the default v4 master for admin pages. I haven't activated publishing for the site but can access changesitemasterpage.aspx and set the site and system master page.
    Action:
    Set site master to custom, set system master to v4
    Expected result:
    Exactly what the description says:
    "The system master page will be used by administrative pages, lists, and document library views on this site."
    Actual result:
    ALL pages use the v4 master.
    The only way to get the custom master to work is to change the system master setting to "custom".  But then the styling interferes with the functionality of the admin pages. Is this another case of SP not doing what it says it's going to do,
    or is it broken?

    Hi  ,
    For your issue, there are two approaches you can refer to:
    1.Activate publishing feature, set custom master page for “Site Master Page”. The site master page will be used by all publishing pages - the pages that visitors to your website will see.
    2.Go to  C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS,  you can find all the application pages in the folder (such as settings.aspx) . Open the aspx page
    and find the dynamicMasterPage attribute at the page tag, change the value to default.master instead of custom.master. (not recommend)

    This has been happening since I updated snow leopard to 10.6.2
    In my case, it is a large file written in Hoefler Text that causes the crash immediately. I can open all my other files.
    Strangely, I can open the file that causes the crash if I log into my guest account.
    And I can open the file in my own account if I change the Font from Hoefler Text to Times New Roman.
    I can also open small Files written with Hoefler Text.

  • Space Bar hot key not working after recent Indesign update

    Hi all
    I just did the most recent update (3-31-14) and now the space bar hot key isn't working, nor is the hot key for duplication (option). So, uh, anyone else notice this, and if so, Adobe, you gonna fix this in the update? These two functions missing are messing with my work flow.
    Thanks

    Try restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how:
    Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences
    You're assuming that it's an InDesign bug that you lost your shortcuts. That is almost always a local computer glitch. None of the rest of us have that problem, we would be flooded with reports if that is true.

    My FN keys of NB200-134 is not working after upgrading from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 ultimate. I tried installing every drivers found on Toshiba website for my lappy but still it does not work.
    Help please

    Hi asalamk,
    The FN keys are controlled by Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. I think you have forgotten to install these tools
    You should check the Toshiba page again and download both tools. Start with installation of Value Added Package then restart your notebook. After this install Flash Cards Support Utility. Once again restart and all FN keys should work properly now.

  • Top Nav buttons not working after publish, but works in app. WHY?

    I have tried to find out why these buttons will not work after publishing. They work fine while in the iWeb app, but not when publishing. I do not have any objects near the top nav buttons. The first site went off without a hitch
    <www.serenitycustompools.net> the second site began the problem with the last page, the nav buttons would not work. Now this 3rd site, none of the nav buttons at top will work after publish, but will work in app. Anyone else having the same probs? None of my pages have the same names or any punctuation marks, and they are simple one word named pages.
