Unable to remove some hyperlinks

Report · Nov 12, 2018

Hi,

So there is a document I am working on where a TOC has been set and now I need to remove every single hyperlinks. It does work for 90% of items but some persist.

I can understand I am not processing the good items there but according to documentation* the remaining item seems to be a hyperlink and so should have been removed to.

* Edit text in InDesign

Point is if I ever try to remove it manually, InDesign just crashes. So I am wondering if the document is just corrupted at some point (also export to idml generates a corrupted file).

before :

after :

the code :

removeHyperlinks:function(doc){
this.removeCollectionInstances ( doc.hyperlinks );
this.removeCollectionInstances ( doc.hyperlinkExternalPageDestinations );
this.removeCollectionInstances ( doc.hyperlinkPageDestinations );
this.removeCollectionInstances ( doc.hyperlinkTextDestinations );
this.removeCollectionInstances ( doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations );
this.removeCollectionInstances ( doc.hyperlinkTextSources );
this.removeCollectionInstances ( doc.hyperlinkPageItemSources );
this.removeCollectionInstances ( doc.crossReferenceSources );
},
removeCollectionInstances:function(collection){
var instances = collection.everyItem().getElements(), n = instances.length, nInstance;
while ( n--) {
nInstance = instances;
nInstance.remove();
}
},

any ideas welcome 😕
