Hello!

I have an online publication that has shapes (stars) as links to webpages that work on desktop but not on mobile:

https://indd.adobe.com/view/6b9a90d5-9f77-490e-9f5d-cf4b929b834b

 

Is there a way to correct the links so they work on mobile as well?

Hi Benjamin,

opened your publish online document with Firefox on Windows 10.

The links do not work.

 

Can you show a screenshot of the page with a button selected and the Buttons panel open so we can see what's going on there? Normal view with frame edges showing.

 

Thanks,
Uwe Laubender

Thank you for helping me!

 

So the links are just transparent squares I inserted over the shapes since the shapes are animated with a "fade in" (the numbered text is not hyperlinked). I had to create multiple pages (which the tabs on the left are buttons that send the user too when clicked). I have found with firefox you have to allow popups for the links to work. Also, yesterday, I got some of the links to work mobile but it would open two windows, one that displayed an error and owne that worked.

Hm. Your screenshot is showing an empty field for URL as target in the Button panel.

Oops!

 

I'll try correcting that and then testing mobile.

 

Thanks!

Ok!

It's working, but is there a way to get it to only open one window on the mobile platform? Currently it uploads 2 tabs and one tab is the link and the other is an error.
