I have reciently found that Text hyperlinks to other documents (e.g., PDF-to-PDF links) no longer work when exporting from InDesign as an Interactive PDF.
However links do work when exporting as a Print PDF.
I just wonder why. This is only since 19.3, something must have been altered.
Although this is a slove for our cross document links, it does mean that other interactive elements are now not possible, but we'll have to learn to live without rollovers, etc... Rich interactive docs were amazing, not everything should have to be online!!
Another method to try is to hyperlink your PDFs to Publish Online documents, I've found this to work succesfully and you can use the additional features that this format offers.
No, I'm just trying to replicate your problem and find a solution. My pdfs work fine.

Ahh, right, OK, thanks for all your replies. Since you're on a PC I'm thinking it might be something to do with the Mac, either Silicone or the OS. Because everything works fine in Indesign 19.3 I'm just working in that version for now. I think I'll ring up the Adobe tech helpline next week when I'm not so busy and see what they make of things. Thank you for taking the time to have a look for me though! Legend.
Links in interactive documents published from InDesign 19.3 still work, you could try rolling back your indesign version, that's what we have had to do. good luck 🙂
This is not the correct answer, this is an observation. Please unmark it and if possible pass these comments on to the relevant adobe department. This is a worrying fact that a major part of the software is not functioning in the latest two versions.
I've reported this as a bug as well as this ask for help, so far, despite 23.3K views no one has offered any support / confirmation that it's a problem that will be looked into or fixed.
Since this is a very important feature of indesign and part of my workflow can any one point me in the direction of who to contact regarding getting this to the relavant people.
