I Am looking to find a way to edit the file path of hyperlinks across a large range of magazines that are linked to an authors index This is a system that has been developed over many years and has to be edited every few years as the next batch of magazines become available for the archive. Probably six years ago I changed from an acrobat solution to an InDesign generated solution which worked fine for two editions Now The Edits I have made in the current edition are failing as a bug in InDesign is exporting hyperlinks inclusive of their file path make all the edited index files useless InDesign Support team are looking into the issue. I am just looking for some kind of temporary fix, as the product is meant to be available the first week of November. Below is the link generated from InDesign in the pdf and below that is a typical link that works correctly from an older unedited document.
Indesign New link
<</F(Drobo:SKM PDFS:Creation Folder:SKM5.pdf)/Type/Filespec/UF(Drobo:SKM PDFS:Creation Folder:SKM5.pdf)>>
Old indsign link which is functioning correctly
<</F(SKM112.pdf)/Type/Filespec/UF(SKM112.pdf)>>
Also, links generated from within acrobat look like the above and work too
I assume that editing this in a text editor is not going to work I have tried would seem perfect to make the edits but the results are not good. Anyone with any thoughts it would take me far too much time to work through he is index system manually recreating them in Acrobat. Does anyone have any thoughts on a something which might help?
