Viewing or printing a list of hyperlinks contained in a document

Hello,

If you would like, you can use this script:

https://github.com/nukleas/indesign-incopy-snippets/blob/master/extractHyperlinks.js

It will extract the current document's hyperlinks and save them to a tab delimited text file you can open up in word/excel/etc

Here's the raw code:

function extractHyperlinks(doc) {
    "use strict";
    var i,
      linkedText, // The source text
      linkedURL, // The URL destination
      extracted_hyperlinks = [], // The array of hyperlinks
      myHyperlinks = doc.hyperlinks, // The hyperlinks in the given document
      extracted_hyperlink; // Individual extracted hyperlink
    for (i = 0; i < myHyperlinks.length; i += 1) {
 // If you don't do the following check to make sure the objects exist and are not null, the script will break when there isnt a source or destination available.
        if (myHyperlinks.item(i).source.sourceText && myHyperlinks.item(i).destination) {
            linkedText = myHyperlinks.item(i).source.sourceText.contents || ""; // extract linked text
            linkedURL = myHyperlinks.item(i).destination.destinationURL || ""; // extract destination URL
        }
        // Merge information in hyperlink object
 extracted_hyperlink = {
 text: linkedText,
 URL: linkedURL
 };
        extracted_hyperlinks.push(extracted_hyperlink); // Push to hyperlink array
    }
    return extracted_hyperlinks;
}
function writeHyperlinksToFile(hyperlinks) {
    "use strict";
    var myFilePath = File.openDialog("Choose where to save your Hyperlinks"),
        outputFile = new File(myFilePath),
        i;
    outputFile = new File(outputFile);
    outputFile.open('w');
    for (i = 0; i < hyperlinks.length; i += 1) {
        outputFile.writeln(hyperlinks.text + "\t" + hyperlinks.URL); // tab-delimited text, URL
    }
    outputFile.close();
}
function main() {
    "use strict";
    var extracted_hyperlinks = extractHyperlinks(app.documents[0]);
    writeHyperlinksToFile(extracted_hyperlinks);
}
main();
