Hyperlink to any Linkedin url's are not working!

[rnprasanna]

Hi,

All my hyperlinks are working except anything that points to linkedin (the url shows up as a red dot eventhough the link is working). It's really frustrating. People have had this problem in the past and I could not find any solutions.

are you sure all options are set correctly.

[rnprasanna]

Yes, all the settings are the same

I tried linkedin.com too. Its doesnt work. another post on the same problem: Can't hyperlink to LinkedIn profile in InDesign CC

what does the browser say? Does it start and interrupt the connection, or even doesn't start?

http://bit.do/prasanna/Linkdin is what you have entered in the Edit Hyperlink dialog.

It appears that gives a 404 Not Found error when you type it in directly in a browser:

I think it's spelled Linkedin not Linkdin

[JonathanArias]

i get the same thing. that hyperlink is no good.

[rnprasanna]

the link is http://bit.do/prasannaLinkdin​ not http://bit.do/prasanna/Linkdin

[Steve Werner]

I still get a 404 Page Not Found error in my web browser with both links.

[rnprasanna]

Sorry, the link address is: http://bit.do/prasannaLinkdin

I copied and edited the link in the previous reply. If you look at the address it still goes to prasanna/Linkedin

Still not working for me. There is something weird. Ditch the shortener service and it may work:

[Test Screen Name]

In message 7 the link does not match the page text ("stealth link" for some reason to a link with the / in it). In message 9 the link matches the message text and works. So, does it now work in InDesign, Prasanna? Did you change anything?

[rnprasanna]

Nope, it still doesnt work. The weird thing is that it works in the pdf (last page): http://www.mechdesignengineer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Portfolio_PrasannaNatarajan.pdf 

but not in the indesign file. I even tried removing the shortener, still see the red dot. Clicking on the red dot opens the link. I guess its a bug

You seem to be still opening prasanna/Linkedin not prasannaLinkedin. The link works.
