Hyperlink to any Linkedin url's are not working!

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.

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

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
