Hi,

I have created a new Indesign CC document as a sales brochure and each product has a hyperlink to the corresponding website url for that product.

When I export the document to a pdf (interactive or not) all of the links go to the same url, even though I have checked every hyperlink twice and they are all different, can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance

Dave

When you select the hyperlinked copy in InDesign with the Hyperlinks panel open does is its entry in the hyperlinks panel also highlighted and with a green dot next to it and the correct URL in the field at the top of the panel? Also make sure that in the Edit Hyperlink dialog (accessed by double-clicking on its Hyperlink Panel entry) that "Link to:" is set for URL.

I am having this same issue... it is strange because I go to the hyperlink in the working Indesign document and it takes me to the site where I want to go. However, once it is published, all hyperlinks go to the same place. I have even manually deleted and insterted new text with hyperlink and the same occurs.... what is going on? In regards to the hyperlink properties and the "green" dot, they all have a green dot and also have corect URLs.

I am also having the same issue and have repeatedly tried to fix it with your suggestions. It seems like a bug.

I've had this issue all day! Finally worked it out (for my problem at least) It appeared the problem came up becasue I was duplicating objects that already had a hyperlink set, however going in to the object settings (Right click on duplicated object > Hyperlinks > Edit Hyperlink) didn't completely clear the previous hyperlink from the original object.

Solution:

Open the Hyperlinks panel for your workspace (Window > Interactive > Hyperlink)
Click on the object which is not going to the link you want
Delete the hyperlink that is programmed on the object (you can re-apply this later)
Deselect / Click away from the object
Select / Double-Click on the object again
- Now it may show you a different URL thiat is embedded in that object
- Delete this rogue URL
Reprogram the intended hyperlink as normal
- Right click on object > Hyperlinks > New Hyperlink
- Fill as appropirate
- OK

Hope this helps!
