Cleaning up Empty cross-reference markers

To show the number of HyperLinks and HyperLinkSources:

var curDoc = app.activeDocument;

var countHyperlinkTextDestinations = curDoc.hyperlinkTextDestinations.length;
var countHyperlinkTextSources = curDoc.hyperlinkTextSources.length;


alert(„Report Hyperlinks“ + „\r“ + „\r“ +
            „TextHyperlinkDestinations: „ + countHyperlinkTextDestinations + „\r“ +
            „TextHyperlinkSources: „ + countHyperlinkTextSources  );

var curDoc = app.activeDocument;

var countHyperlinkTextDestinations = curDoc.hyperlinkTextDestinations.length;
var countHyperlinkTextSources = curDoc.hyperlinkTextSources.length;

curDoc.hyperlinkTextDestinations.everyItem().remove();
curDoc.hyperlinkTextSources.everyItem().remove();

alert(„RemoveHyperlinks“ + „\r“ + 
            „Removed „ + countHyperlinkTextDestinations + „ TextHyperlinkDestinations\r“ +
            „Removed „ + countHyperlinkTextSources + „ TextHyperlinkSources\r“  );

Hi Mark,  Thank you very much for your fast reply. I can upload a sample file in the morning but meanwhile I wanted to answer you with more data. I user several scripts that utilizes InDesign's hyperlink desinition feature to embed a page number link - It basically creates the same thing as a cross-reference but without the massive lags that sometimes follow and allows other information to be generated from the link such as bibligraphies, glossaries, etc. So I have valid hyperlink destinations in my file that show up in the hyperlink desintations options part of the cross-references panel but not in the cross-references panel itself. The empty hyperlinks desintations don't show up in any panels and so far I have not been able to find them with a script either. 

Hi @KB_book dsn, can you please share an .indd document that has some of these empty cross reference markers?

Also, it might be good to know if there are also some valid cross-reference markers in the document (ie. that do appear in the cross-references panel).

- Mark
