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.
