Has anyone else experiened where the auto-create link tool does not recognize ".org" links? Or is there a solution for this? I have a link on all my footers to the company ".org" website and I would hate to create a link for each indiviual page.

Thanks in advance!

It appears the address needs to be lower case in order for Create links from URLs to work.

Thanks all! I did a few tests. The auto-create link tool definitely does not like all caps or any tracking.

I unfortunately cannot create the hyperlink within InDesign either because I use a script from our printer to create the PDFs. It doesn't seem to export with hyperlinks. If anyone has any other ideas, happy to listen. I don't want to compromise my design either but functionalilty over looks may win here.

I have never relied on auto-create links for websites and email addresses, as they are not supported in all browsers. I create links manually either in Acrobat or InDesign. Does it work if you create a link with the Links tool?
