Attributes Panel for creating URL/web links is not working properly.

I will try to keep this as simple as possible.

I have a PDF that I want to link to a website.

I create an object/shape on the PDF. I define the URL via the "Attributes" panel.

Let's say I use "http://www.google.com"
I export the PDF and check off "preserve hyperlinks."

When I open the PDf and click on the link, it instead tries to visit

"C://User/Name/Desktop/google.com"

No matter what I do. Changing the shape, polygon or rectangle, it does NOT work.

Anyone have any experience iwth this one?
