Document Not Found / Online Publishing not working

[papadachi]

Needing to urgently online publish a document in InDesign but keep getting the 'Document Not Found / The document you requested does not exist...' page. Have troubleshooted, restarted, updated, used different browsers. The problem started approx 1hr ago and I wasn't having trouble online publishing until then. The document also doesn't appear on my Publish Online Dashboard either - so either it's not going through or is automatically deleting. On one attempt it did work and appear as online published then upon refreshing it immediately disappeared with the Document Not Found page. Urgent help please!

Hi Liamp,

Sorry to hear you are unable to publish a document. I tried replicating the issue on my end, but I was able to publish the document fine. Would you mind checking if it's happening with a specific file or all files?

Did you try using a different internet connection and see if that works?

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

Other files publish fine. Something seems to be corrupted in this specific file but I'm not receivbing any error messages.

Try recreating the Publish Online file from the original InDesign file.

It seems to be an issue with the hyperlinks. All are legit but seem to cause the corruption every time i export the file.

I'm currently having this issue.  Did you ever figure out a solution?  I also have no errors.

It seemed to be with certain hyperlinks. I removed one by one to find rhe culprit but that seemed to change when i added them back. I finalky changed them all to different but similar links and it worked. Not a fix but a vague workaround.

Same here: While online publishing Indesign acts as if the upload was succesfull but it doesn't show in the dashboard and the link claimes: 'document not found', 1 hour with Adobe support,  and still didn't work.
But I fixed it!

Export all pages as .png files
Make a new document, import all .png files ont different pages
Publish Online and check if it's showing in your dashboard
Open your original indesign document > publish online > overwrite the previous online publish > DONE!

It seems Indesign is having (random) issues making the uploadlink together with the document, but if I overwrite an existing publish it has no issues what so ever.

Hope this helps someone, so we don't all have to endure (7!) hours of frustration

Thanks for this, but no need to export pages as png files, just replace any existing previous upload you don't need anymore, of just upload literally any very simple one page file that doesn't have links in it. And then replace that; it works.
