How do I remove the dash added on a long hyperlink that's added when exporting from InDesign to Adobe? I'm not putting a hyphen in the Destination, but because of the long text, one is added because it's on two lines, and upon export Adobe carries that version of the hyperlink.

David Blatner has a fix for this at IndesignSecrets.. actually he gives several options. It's a bit old (2008) but it sounds like it would still work.  One is to change the language for the URL to "No Language".  Another is to manually insert a Discretionary Line Break.  Check it out here: http://indesignsecrets.com/turning-off-hyphenation-for-urls.php
