InDesign CC2018 Hyperlink aktualisieren (per script)?

@Kasyan_Servetsky i have an indesign book where i have a bunch of  Hyperlink Text Destinations in one document and links to the destinations in a second document.

I regularly copy the book and documents to make a new version and relink the book docs to the updated copy.

This all works fine except the hyperlinks still point to the old copy.

Your script looks like it should do what i want, but my links are instance of HyperlinkTextDestination not HyperlinkExternalPageDestination as in your script.

I have tried to modify to suit, and code runs, but the hyperlinks are not changed. 

I would be very grateful if you could help me with this.

Thanks in advance!

Moved the discussion to InDesign Scripting community.

Here I wrote a quick and dirty script for you. Warning: not totally tested.

You have to type in the part of the file path which is different.

I tried to recreate your situation: the file T02.indd was moved from the 2019 to 2020 folder

Before — the destination is broken

After — the hyperlinks were fixed

var scriptName = "Restore external page destinations",
doc, set, hyperlinks;

By the way, it also works with sub-folders. They should be separated by forward slash — / — like so:

Hope it helps!
