I have a made a document in indesign and exported it to an interactive pdf.

When I look at in a browser some extra content shows in the navigation meny/table of content (to the left in the browser, see attached image, all above the yellow lines)
I have tried to find it in the indesign document, but it is invisible.

What can i do?

Or maybe some bookmarks. Check the Bookmarks panel (Window > Interactive > Bookmarks)

How's it look in Acrobat?

The screenshot does show Acrobat, doesn't it?

The OP was specifically referring to viewing in a browser so I didn't even look.

Hi Shild,

Those look like broken cross-refs or broken links of some sort. Maybe broken Table of Contents links. 

Do you recall whether you copy-n-pasted any of that sort of link material from one document to another (which would break it), and then you exported the PDF?
