Hi Community,

I'm producing policies for my office that will be available on a network share. They are created and exported as accessable PDFs with internal jumps to various sections.

The jumps are set in InDesign as hyperlinks with visible blue rectangles. See screenshot for settings.

When employees open the accessable PDFs thier default browser (Edge or Chrome) does not display the blue rectangles but if it opened using Reader they are there. Unfortunatly, changing the default on every workstation to open PDFs in Reader is not an option.

The department I've been working with says they were there when we tested a few weeks ago but now they are not.

I'm hoping someone knows a fix for this issue.

Thank you,

Tom

By the way, typically you'd prepare the links in the original document, such as in Word, using a different visual style for links.

Thank you for that info.

The links were completly set up in InDesign and exported as interactive. A great feature. Much better the doing it in after in Acrobat Pro.

Chrome has its own PDF viewer, made by Google. Edge uses the same one. So maybe they changed it. Anyway, it's not something related to Adobe software if that still works. Yes, having multiple PDF viewers out there can be a nightmare.
