Hyperlinks to other parts of an InDesign book do not produce clickable links in exported pdf.

Correct answer BobLevine

@KKarney Why are you using Acrobat 4 compatibility? That’s an ancient standard.

What are your InDesign and operating system versions? By “book”, do you mean an .indb file? Are appropriate settings checked in your PDF export settings? What PDF export settings are you using? Do you only have this problem with hyperlinks to other parts of the book, or internet URLs as well?
