Hyperlinks Panel

I cannot see the hyperlinks panel on any of my files. It has over ridden with cross references. I cannot see the links I want to put onto the Interactive doc. -I have followed all advises and it defaults back to cross referencing every time. What do I do? I have CS6 and workoing on Windows 10 Pro.

Thank you in advance !

Correct answer Derek Cross

In your InDesign document you highlight the word or words (or image) you want to be the link.

Then select (there are other methods)  Type > Hyperlinks & Cross References > New Hyperlink in the resulting dialogue box in the Link to drop down menu select URL and enter the complete URL (I always copy and paste from the actual website). You can select a Character Style, if you've set one up, for your hyperlinks. Select OK.

Back in InDesign export your document as an Interactive PDF.

Hi Sladva,

please show a screenshot of your Hyperlinks panel when no document is open.

 

Thanks,

FYI, CS6 is unsupported under Windows 10.

Rebuilding your preferences should fix this. See the article about it linked below
