Question

Make Hyperlinks from URL

Request you to please help me with the Script "Make hyperlinks from URL".

When I run this script its converting the URL to Hyperlink, but its changing the original URL text present in the Indesign file.

Can this script search for a specific URL character style and convert it to Hyperlink by retaining the Original text in Indesign.

For Example:

The Original URL in Indesign file is this:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Connecting+JIRA+to+a+Dat abase

When I run the script its changed to:

confluence.atlassian.com

It would be great if you please provide some solution for this.

    Carl, I think he means this 'script' here:

    Which is concerned with InDesign.  This is the ColdFusion forum, you'll have more luck asking here instead:

    What "script" are you referring to?  And does this have anything to do with ColdFusion?  Please clarify.
