InDesign Publish Online Won't Open a Hyperlinked PDF

Hello 🙂 My client wanted me to design their annual report so it can be sent out electronically. I used animations and hyperlinks to PDFs. When I test the hyperlinks in "Preview Spread: EPUB) the links work (open up the PDFs in a new window). However when I publish online the links won't work. Thoughts or solutions? 

 

The "Learn More" rectangles in the grey bar have files linked.

You're linking to files on your local harddrive. You need to upload them to a webserver and link to them there.

    You can't have animations in PDFs and the PDF version you download from Publish Online is static.
