Question

Link setting of exported PDF not customer-compatible

I made seval Hyperlinks with Indesign with the setting <Jump to page>. After exporting as interactive PDF all hyperlinks are built with the setting <Use Named Designation>.

An example: 
Go to a page in the document
Destination name: DOCUMENT_NAME.INDD:4424:29

What I need instead is the setting "Use Page Number". Because the system of our customer works only with this type of hyperlinks. Not with these 4424:29 - Style ...

What can I do? Another Link-Style in Indesign? A javascript in Acrobat to change the hyperlink-setting in the complete document? 

There are >100 links, so a manual changing is no option.

Can you share a sample INDD file? Please click my nickname if you prefer to send it privately - then, you need to upload it somewhere and send me a link.
