New! Hyperlinks

Sorry that this has taken so long...I know a lot of people have been asking for this.
In the Design tab when creating a form you can now select text and convert it into a hyperlink. Respondents filling out a form can click on those links and be taken to the specified website or mailto address.
Steps to create a hyperlink:
Select the text you want to add a hyperlink
Either right-click or go to the Insert menu, and select "Insert Link..."
Type in the URL or email address for the link and click OK.
To edit an existing link just right click on the link and choose Edit Link

You should ask that question in the LiveCycle Designer forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_designer_es

From paragraph Style to "New Hyperlink Destination"

Dear InDesign Experts
Please help me to find a way or Script to add all headings of specific paragraph style to "New Hyperlink Destination....(Text Anchor)"
and ... is there any automation for such a task?
Thank you in advance

Hi Saud,
Try the below script.
var activeDoc = app.activeDocument;
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "XXXX";//Give your paragraph Style name here
var foundRefList = activeDoc.findGrep();
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
var myCount =0;
var foundListLength = foundRefList.length;
for (var j = 0; j<foundListLength; j++){
    var myParas = foundRefList[j].paragraphs;
    var myParaLength = myParas.length;
    for (var i = 0; i<myParaLength; i++){
        var myText = myParas[i].texts[0];
        app.select(myText);
        var myId = j+"_"+(i+1);
        var myHyperlinkCitDestination = activeDoc.hyperlinkTextDestinations.add(myText, {name: myId});
        myCount++;
    app.select(NothingEnum.nothing);
    alert("Process Completed\n"+myCount+" destinations added");
p.s: I've not tested it, please check this at your end and let me know.

New Hyperlink Color

I am having trouble changing a hyperlink color.
My default is red and I wwant it to be blue.
I create a new hyperlink, modify the font, size, and color as I want.
I "Create Character Style From Selection".
When I use Link Inspector - Enable as a hyperlink - email, it changes font and size, but not color.
The default red is always used.
This happens if I make the text a link first or if I make the changes first and then make it a link.
What am I doing wrong?
Default: My Hyperlink
Desire: My Hyperlink
Muchas Gracias

Here is how a new Hyperlink 2 looks on my iMac in iBooks Author:
The Character Style is blue, but the text stays red. And here it is on my iPad:
Hard to see, but it is in blue as it should be.
So why do my efforst to modify show up correctly on the Mac?

New hyperlink from URL crash in CS5

When I try to create a hyperlink from a url or text in InDesign CS5, many times InDesign crashes. It's mostly when I haven't created a hyperlink in a few hours, and then when I do, InDesign crashes. Once I restart InDesign, I'm good to go and everything works perfectly. Anyone else have this problem?
My system is InDesign 7.0.2 and OS 10.6.4
Thanks!

I'm on CS4 and I've been labouring with this problem for the past year. I have consistently returned crash reports but it concerns me considerably that the same problem has translated to CS5 without a fix in sight. I get the crash with New hyperlink from URL and also with New hyperlink... where the dialogue appears but the program crashes as soon as I try to access the dropdown menu to change to url, email, page or whatever. Like everyone else, I have to restart the program and everything works just fine ... for a while. Now I never call the New hyperlink dialogue without saving the document first, as I never know when it will choose to crash. Despite all my crash reports, which have included my email address, nobody from Adobe has given me any feedback, so it doesn't surprise me that no one from Adobe has taken an interest in this thread.

Is it possible to change the default URL when creating new hyperlinks?

I'm currently working to take a 128 page catalog that was created in InDesign for print and turn it into a interactive PDF to post on our companies website. The catalog contains thousands of part numbers and I'd like to link each one to its corresponding stock status page on our website that gives current availability and pricing for any particular customer.
So say I'm dealing with part number "XXXX". When I go to add the hyperlink the default web address it spits out is " http://XXXX ". Instead of that, would it be possible to change the default to " http://forums.adobe.com/discussion/XXXX/1 ". Obviously I just used this website as an example, but it would save so much time if I could avoid having to type the exact same URL every time.
Or maybe is there a quicker way to do this other than what I am currently trying?
Thanks

I've found some external software applications that will do it, so that leads me to believe its not possible within ID CC.

Problem changing an internal hyperlink to new destination

I am working with a document (77 pages) originally created in InDesign CS5.5 on a Mac. I'm now working with it on InDesign CS6 on a Mac OS 10.7.4.
I need to update the destination of several existing hyperlinks in the document's table of contents.
One problem is that the hyperlinks panel doesn't show that the document contains any existing hyperlinks in the Links panel, which is strange. When I export the document as an interactive PDF, the entire table of contents is linked to internal pages.
Here are the steps I have taken:
I highlight the (existing hyperlink) text in the document's table of contents
Choose New Hyperlink Destination -> Type-> Page.
Select the Page #
Set Zoom Setting to Fixed.
Save the document.
Export an interactive PDF.
The link does not update to the new page # I selected.
I do not have the option of creating a New Hyperlink, since it is greyed out.
I've exported as an IDML and repeated all the steps. No differnce.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Kathryn

If you create a Table of Contents through the TOC function, this automatically creates a hyperlink, and the destination is defined at the time of TOC generation. These hyperlinks do not show in the Hyperlinks panel, like manually created links. You will not be able to redirect the destination in Indesign. The TOC links are visible in Acrobat by selecting the Link tool and editing the destination there, but not recommended for many destination changes. In the event that content was moved to different pages in ID, and manual edits made to the TOC, the destinations of these hyperlinks are probaly not correct. You could remove all extraneous hyperlinks and regenerate a TOC with new link and destinations created, and see if this corrects issue.

Assign already-existing hyperlink to new text

i know this should be ridiculously easy but i can't figure it out.
i have an indesign document with several hyperlinks that are used repeatedly. i'm trying to assign one of these already-existing hyperlinks to text, but when i select the text and click on the hyperlink in the hyperlinks panel, it doesn't stick to the text.
i have the option of creating a new hyperlink for every instance, but isn't there a way to assign a hyperlink i've already created to the text i've selected?
thanks in advance for any help.

I guess it is clear how to do it technically, the big question here is: can you really do it if the plant was already used and had done business
Does SAP issue a warning/error if you do it for a plant that had already business?
I have not the option to test this case, but I guess SAP would allow this customizing step, as SAP expects that consultants are thinking before acting.
I personally think that you create inconsistencies.
if a plant A that is assigned to company A has inventory then this inventory is owned by company A., if you just change the assignment, then I dont believe that SAP will do all financial postings in background to get the inventory values from company A to company B.

New iWeb hyperlinks text in Safari

I've been adding new hyperlinks (and website addresses) to my website;
http://web.mac.com/rimmerpaula/
- just to link to a hidden page (About Paula) and to link to lots of other external web pages (e.g Llandeilo, Winchester School of Art) but when viewed in Safari the colour of the text hasn't changed to indicate the hyperlink. (This is true of most of my new hyperlinks but not exclusively as there is the odd one that has changed colour.) This is especially bad on my new welcome page (for all my friends who have limited internet knowledge!)
When viewed in iWeb and Camino all the hyperlinks are the dark gold colour. When viewed in Safari they are the same colour as the main text.
Although this is a very minor detail, a lot of my friends have a very basic knowledge of the internet and would miss these links.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

varkgirl's right... the color of the link changes depending on whether the link has been visited or not. There is also a color change when you hover over the link. So in all there are three states... normal, rollover, and visited.
You can change the colors of these different states by using this pretty cool piece of software... Hyperlink Shader...maybe you would like all three states to be gold. It's very easy to use...

How do I add an image next to a hyperlink in code behind?

I am trying to dynamically display hyperlinks in a div, and I am also trying to add an image to appear right next to each hyperlink. My code is able to add the hyperlinks to the div's but I can't figure out how to add an image to appear next to each hyperlink.
I am not pretty good at doing this in the code behind, which is what the requirements demand. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I am basically trying to add an image right next to each hyperlink as they are dynamically created. Here is what
my code looks like...
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteUrl))
List<string> output = new List<string>();
SPWeb web = site.RootWeb;
SPList list = web.Lists["Applications"];
SPQuery testQuery = new SPQuery();
testQuery.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>" + MyEditorPartChoice + "</Value></Eq></Where>";
foreach (SPListItem item in list.GetItems(testQuery))
DynLink = new HyperLink();
dynDiv = new HtmlGenericControl("DIV");
lbl = new Label();
environment = Convert.ToString(item["Environment"]);
appUrl = Convert.ToString(item["App URL"]);
lbl.Text = "<br>";
dynDiv.ID = "dynDivCode";
dynDiv.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Height, "40px");
dynDiv.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Width, "100%");
dynDiv.InnerHtml = environment;
DynLink.NavigateUrl = appUrl;
DynLink.Text = dynDiv.InnerHtml;
DynLink.Visible = true;
Controls.Add(DynLink);
Controls.Add(lbl);
I really appreciate the help

I figured it out...just did this.
Image img = new Image();
img.ImageUrl = ;//ImgUrl;
img.Style.Add("Position", "absolute");
Hope that helps someone else who is wanting to do this for the first time.

Need help with shared hyperlinks

I need help understanding the shared hyperlink option when creating hyperlinks in InDesign CS5 (Mac) and how to change a shared hyperlink destination.
I want to build a document that contains hyperlinks to files on the client’s server. The end use is to make a PDF in which the client can click on a hyperlink and it opens (for example) a Word document or another PDF on their server. When I started the project, I thought I would create shared hyperlinks because a single server document would be referred to by several links scattered through the InDesign document I was building.
From the Hyperlink palette fly-out menu I chose New Hyperlink, then Link To: File from the dropdown, and I clicked the Shared Hyperlink option, and then OK to close the window. I export the InDesign file as a print PDF, and the hyperlinks work.
Now I need to change the file paths, because the client moved their files to a new location. When I re-open the hyperlink in the Hyperlink palette by double clicking on it, the Edit Hyperlink window opens but it shows my link as:
Link To: Shared Destination (rather than File)
And the destination box underneath shows:
Document: [my document name]
Name [the file path I put in]
However, this link is not editable. I don’t understand why InDesign does this on its own.
I realize now that it was not necessary to tick the shared option when I built the hyperlink. Is there a way (a script? another method?) that I can remove the shared nature of the hyperlinks so that when I go to edit them they show as links to files (Link to: File, not Link to: Shared Destination) with a live Destination Path box where I can edit the link?
(If anyone tries to help with a script, note that my document also contains other hyperlinks to internet URLs and emails that I don’t want to disturb.)
Thanks for your consideration.

Well. I do feel sort of bait-and-switched, but...
I want to get the links back to the point where double clicking on the hyperlink name (number) in the Hyperlink palette opens an Edit Hyperlink dialog where the destination is Link to: File and the file path shows up in the File Path box as an editable string. Just the way I made them in the first place.
It's good that you're comfortable editing the IDML.
If you compare links made both ways in the IDML, the only distinction between the Shared and the not Shared seems to be the hidden attribute of the <HyperlinkURLDestination/> tag.
Allegedly you cannot edit this in Javascript (though you could, I suppose, create a new HyperlinkURLDestination with all the same properties and then chang eeach hyperlink to point to it).
But editing it in the IDML works fine. Open designmap.xml and change the Hidden="false" to Hidden="true". Of course, you only want to do that in the <HyerplinkURLDestination/> tags...
Something about this seems fishy to me, so you might want to verify it yourself in a single case before you put too much effort in. But I think it's right.

How can i get "show hyperlinks" to work?

I have CS6 on a Mac, running 10.7.5.
My ID file has many hyperlinks, all work fine when exported to PDF. The problem is that i can't "see" the hyperlinks inside my ID file. I have turned ON "show hyperlinks" and turned ON "show hidden characters." I have "overprint preview" turned OFF.
I CAN see other types of hidden characters, like spaces, tabs, bookmarks, etc. but not hyperlinks. From what i understand, these should appear with a thin grey box around them (?).
What should i do?

I think hyperlinks could be batch changed visible afterwards with this excellent tip from Indesignsecrets.com:
http://indesignsecrets.com/batch-change-hyperlinks-across-a-whole-indesign-document.php
I always create character style called "hyperlinks" etc before I start making hyperlinks, then I make sure that I choose that style in style dropdown in New Hyperlink window. It´s usefull even if there´s no appearance for that style at the beginning. I can always edit the style settings afterwards if I want, like change the color of the hyperlink text or make a underline for it etc...

How can I force browser to open a pdf document in a new tab from another online pdf document?

Hello everybody,
I create the internal magazine in InDesign. Then I create a pdf document in which there are some URL. After having verified that every link works, I upload this pdf on our website to be read online. The pdf document opens in the browser.
The problem is that when people read the pdf, they click on the links but they open in the same tab than my pdf.
What can I do to make sure that every link opens in a new tab?
My apologies for English mistakes and thank you for your answers.

I already found the Javascript solution in Acrobat... It works more or less (layout problems), but it's impossible to do one by one as I have many links in my doc...
I don't understand why it's not possible to make it directly with InDesign before exporting it in pdf or while exporting it. There should be an option in the "new hyperlink" dialog box or in the pdf parameters.
Does someone have another idea?

How can I create Hyperlinks with a Fixed-Ratio EPUB?

I am using InDesign 2014's fixed ratio epub exporter. It looks great but all my hyperlinks are lost and I can't find any resources on how to maintain them or to recreate them in a reader program, if possible. Any help much appreciated?

Are the hyperlinks you want to make supposed to go to specific pages of the document, or to a url.
If it's to go to pages of the document, then click the Create Bookmarks when creating the TOC, it's in the bottom left, you may need to Show Options in the TOC dialog box.
If it's for a URL, or to link to a different page other than what the TOC points to, then you can
New Hyperlink Destination
Choose URL/Page
Insert a unique name
Insert the url/page no.
Then say ok
Go to Hyperlink Options
Type: URL
Name: Choose the unique name you've created
URL: it should show up as what you've put in the Name, if not just type it in
similar for page no.
Remember to inlcude bookmarks and hyperlinks when creating the PDF too.

How to get a hyperlink in ID into email?

In ID CS4 running Tiger on a G5 Mac, I have a doc which we can call, TestLinkFile.
I select a line of type in TestLinkFile, and using Type > Hyperlink & Cross-References > New Hyperlink, I create a hyperlink. It does not function as such until I export it as a PDF which is now TestLinkFile.pdf. The hyperlink I had made in ID does work properly in the PDF.
So far so good.
Then I attach that TestLinkFile.pdf, using either Mail or Entourage (which is my normal email app). I attach it using either the proper method in each program, or even by dragging the file in. BUT: Now the hyperlink is dead, dormant. If for a further test I email TestLinkFile.pdf to myself in an email, from either Mail or entourage, the dead link remains dead.
I realize we're nolonger in ID and this is the ID forum but it remains the best place to ask I think. So how do I get that hyperlink from ID into an email, preferably as a PDF TestLinkFile.pdf which anyone can open?
Thank you.

> Did youexport a PDF, then attach that PDF to an email, then open the PDF in a program and then find the hyperlink does not work>?
I neveractually checked the pdf itself. I checked its image in the email. Reason being I wanted/want to avoid a reader having to take the extra step of opening the pdf. For one, it takes time. For another, not everyone knows how to do that. And for finally, some are afraid of attachments as carriers of viruses and won't open the attachment.
The link line, blue and underlined in the email I sent myself, was dead.
As I write this I am sending a new email to myself and here is the result of opening the pdf attachment: The link in the attachment does work properly.
But my goal was to make the link in the IMAGE of the pdf attachment live. I get many emails with all kinds of junk in them and they have images which, when you click on them, act as a link to go elsewhere. That is what I want to do. I want to just have someone click on the link in the pdf and go to the destination. I do NOT want them to HAVE TO open the pdf. If everyone else can do it, I ought to be able to???
Hope this was a bit clearer. Thanks again Scott.

Odd bug with internal page hyperlinking, any ideas? (CS5)

I'm adding hyperlink functionality to selected lines of text in order to give interactivity/navigation to different pages of my 70 page document. I'm using the New Hyperlink dialog box, I select 'Page' from the pull down menu, but I can only select up to page 4. This is a problem since I would like to access pages 5-70. In case the file was corrupt, I created a new blank document for testing, and the same thing is happening, page 4 maximum. If I type in a number larger than 4 then this error pops up ... "That page does not exist. There are 4 pages in the document, and the value must be between 1 and 4." .... yet I have 70 pages and I have not used chapters or breaks or anything like that.
Does anyone have an idea around this one?

Hey we have a winner! I used the Control+Shift+Alt method as my work machine has lack of privileges in accessing the file directly, and it's all good. Thanks Peter.

How do I set the default colour of hyperlinks to blue?

Hi,
In Pages 5.2.2, I've noticed that my new hyperlinks for web pages and email addresses are black.
Apart from changing them to blue for each individual link, is there a way to make blue the default color?
Thanks,
Richard

Select the word that is linked. Press Command+T to launch the Font Tool. The left drop-down button on that toolbar is for underlined text. Choose color from this menu. Pick your hyperlink color, and it will change in your document.
Now, while the hyperlinked word with its new color is still selected, you can update the existing Link character style, or press + to create a new one from your selected text. Change the name to Blue Link, press return, and you are done. The next time you need a blue hyperlink after you have added one, select the hyperlinked word, and choose the Blue Link character style. Also useful, if you just want a blue underlined word that is not a hyperlink.
To make the hyperlink color default to blue, you will have to create a template that has the Character Style Link changed to blue. There is no setting you can change otherwise.
